Delta imports in LDAP

Hi Team,

We are planning to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a delta synchronization approach for Active Directory (AD) group imports into ServiceNow.

Currently, the Group OU Definition performs a full import using the LDAP filter:

(objectClass=group)

As a result, every scheduled synchronization queries and imports all groups from Active Directory, regardless of whether any changes have occurred since the previous run.

We would like to understand whether a delta synchronization approach can be implemented to import only newly created, modified, or deleted groups, thereby reducing the overall load and improving synchronization efficiency.

If anyone has previously implemented a similar solution or has experience with this approach, please share your insights on its feasibility, recommended design, and any potential challenges or limitations.

Thank you.
