Managing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016 — Question 11

You manage a SharePoint 2016 farm.
You need to import user profiles and photos from Active Directory to the SharePoint 2016 farm.
Which tool or service should you use?

Answer options

• A. User Profile service application
• B. Active Directory Import
• C. Microsoft Identity Manager
• D. Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager

Correct answer: A

The User Profile service application is specifically designed to handle the import of user profiles from Active Directory into SharePoint. While Active Directory Import and the two Microsoft Identity Management tools have their own functionalities, they do not directly serve the purpose of importing user profiles and photos into SharePoint.
