Commence Full crawl of Active Directory and SharePoint

DeliverPoint interrogates both Active Directory and the SharePoint farm using two SharePoint timer jobs. You must ensure that the DeliverPoint Service Account that you entered in the DeliverPoint Configuration Wizard was granted Full Control permissions on all Web Applications you wish to crawl, and verify the ports 3268 and 389 are open between your SharePoint server(s) and your Active Directory server(s).
