As above, in Inventory, would it be possible to include a keyboard shortcut to kick off an AD sync?

Thanks!

Hello,

Just curious, why do you need to sync AD so much to need a shortcut?

Inside of the preferences menu you can adjust your "Sync Every" time amount with "Auto Sync Enabled".

Several reasons. I'm setting up a somewhat complicated system that relies on PCs being in a certain OU to trigger deployments and I'm also setting up a WDS/MDT system to work in conjunction, which has involved a large amount of testing.

The performance of Inventory is pretty horrible using it as a RemoteApp on 2012R2 over a LAN so opening the preferences windows takes more time than you might imagine.

I will admit that I'm being a bit lazy here but I didn't think it would be too taxing to implement :-)

You can invoke a sync from the command line with "PDQInventory.exe ADSync -StartSync". If you want to turn that into a keyboard shortcut you could use something like AutoHotkey.
```
; Invoke an AD Sync with CTRL+WIN+S
^#s::
{

 Sleep, 100
 Run, PDQInventory.exe ADSync -StartSync

}
Return
```
