Can one-way or two-way sync be configured between GAL and Ivanti Neurons for MDM, and how are field conflicts resolved?

Yes—sync.blue® lets the GAL↔Ivanti Neurons for MDM integration run either one-way or two-way; identical contacts are matched by email or by first and last name so existing records are updated instead of duplicated, and in one-way sync the source system’s values overwrite the target’s mapped fields, while in two-way sync changes from both sides are merged without deleting contacts by default (optional deletion strategies can be enabled if required).

Which contact types and fields are supported (individuals, companies, phone numbers, emails), and how are existing contacts matched and deduplicated during sync?

sync.blue® supports syncing both individuals and companies between Microsoft 365 Global Address List (GAL) and Ivanti Neurons for MDM; supported fields typically include first name, last name, company, department, position, birthday, phone numbers with types (work, home, mobile, other), business email, and addresses with types (work or home: street, house number, ZIP, city, state, country); existing contacts are matched by identical email address or by identical first and last name, then merged to avoid duplicates, with conflicting values updated from the configured source system, and field mapping is best‑effort based on what each app exposes.

What scheduling and on-demand options are available to keep GAL contacts current on managed iOS and Android devices via Ivanti Neurons for MDM?

sync.blue® supports both scheduled and on-demand updates for Microsoft Global Address List (GAL) to Ivanti Neurons for MDM: connections can be scheduled to run automatically at manual, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly intervals; on demand, an admin can start a full sync in the sync.blue® dashboard to re-publish all changes, iOS devices can be refreshed immediately by pulling to refresh or briefly adding/removing a contact in the CardDAV address book, and Android devices can use the managed sync interval of the sync.blue® Android app configured via MDM (minimum 15 minutes, daily recommended).

Which connection method should be used with Ivanti Neurons for MDM—CardDAV, LDAP, or CSV—and what settings are recommended in sync.blue® for best results?

CardDAV is the recommended connection for Ivanti Neurons for MDM because it provisions native device address books; LDAP and CSV are only needed if Ivanti is set up for directory lookup or file import.
