How to get the list of users from AD in ServiceNow while raising a request?

We have a requirement to raise a request if any license is needed for an user in AD(Active Directory). We want to select the user from AD (not from the sys_user table in ServiceNow), when raising the request. Will that be possible to lookup all the users in AD while raising the request in ServiceNow Portal?

It is possible, but I would suggest just import all users from AD via LDAP or a push from Azure AD, etc.  That way they all exist locally.  Having to make an integration call every time that gets dropped down is expensive.  If there's a reason to not use sys_user, use a custom table that gets updates from AD on a schedule.

Hi, Srividya, you have any idea about how to fetch the username in AD from Servicenow. Any replies will be useful.

 

Thanks and Regards,
