SMS and Active Directory

I can't remember where but I thought I read something about SMS2.0 SP2 and Active Directory integration. According to that article it should be possible to not only import users and groups, but also AD Containers.

It is possible to import information from the AD Containers through the Active Directory/SMS Collection Synchronisation tools available from:

http://www.microsoft.com/smsmgmt/downloads/default.asp

Active Directory/SMS Collection Synchronization Tools
The Active Directory/SMS Collection Synchronization tools are provided as examples of how the automation interfaces available for Active Directory (ADSI) and SMS 2.0 (the SMS 2.0 SDK) can be used to automate the creation and maintenance of SMS collections based on domains and organizational units in Active Directory. Because these utilities are examples, they are not designed to be complete solutions in all cases. The source code for the utilities is provided and is organized so that it can be easily reused in solutions that are customized to individual organization's needs.

There are two Active Directory Synchronization tools included in this download: an Active Directory Discovery Agent (ADDisc), and a Collection Synchronization Manager (CollSync).
