GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your enterprise operates a tightly controlled Microsoft Active Directory forest. You are asked to deploy Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) so accounts and groups appear in Cloud Identity. Security engineers worry the synchronization process might accidentally change or corrupt objects that reside in Active Directory. Given how GCDS works, what should you tell them about its interaction with the on-premises LDAP directory?

  • GCDS periodically uploads password hashes back into Active Directory to keep credentials synchronized across both systems.

  • GCDS only reads from the LDAP directory and never issues write operations, so no objects in Active Directory are modified during synchronization.

  • When an account is suspended in Google Cloud, GCDS deletes the corresponding user object from Active Directory to preserve consistency.

  • If the GCDS service account has write permission, it can update mail attributes in Active Directory to match changes made in Google Cloud.
