Is sys_id is equivalent to ObjectGUID in active directory?

[khail]

It doesn't matter if sys_id is not GUID formatted but I just want to know if that is correct.

The goal is to integrate the other site into servicenow. I wanted to know if the sys_id is matched to ObjectGUID in active directory. If also possible if there is a SID property available in servicenow that match same on SID attribute in active directory.

Hi,

sys_id is concept of ServiceNow which is unique for every record and has no relationship with objectGUID I guess since objectGUID is specific to Active directory.

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the answer and found it a helpful information but is there a way in servicenow to get information in LDAP? Like ObjectGUID and etc?

Hi Khail,

I guess your problem might be in synchronizing the records. This can only be done in one way from other site to ServiceNow. You may use Coalesce as True to make one particular field as unique, so that the record will be pushed to ServiceNow verifying with this Coalesce field(say Email), if found already SN will update the record else it will create a new record.

Sys_id is only created after the record got inserted in the system. Hence you may not be sure to cross sync this with ObjectGUID. Though you could find few other ways to reverse sync your ServiceNow records to Active Directory, but I have less knowledge here. May be Ankur can help on this. @Ankur.

Hope this helped your case.

If you want to import AD GUID in SN than you need to create a field on User table and create transform field map.
