Is there any Tool to push existing data into AD

Is there any Tool to push existing data into AD?

We got a ms sql server db for a intranet phonebook. Many infos need to be push from there into AD.

Would like to know if I need to create my own synchronisation program or if there is already somehting availalble on the net to accomplish the task.

thank.

I think this would probably be best answered under a vb area, as you might need a custom app to do it.

I am a programmer but I thaught the Serve rguys could had pass through this before.
Thank.
There are tools out there, but they are expensive and from my experience, you are probably better off writing your own code.  

If you want a commercial product, just search for "SQL LDAP sync"

We've purchased some products from SUN to sync our UNIX LDAP directory with AD's LDAP directory.  We've had nothing but grief setting it up.  With commercial products you usually end up having to write some custom code anyhow to make things work.
Thank you Pber. This is also my conclusion after I read from the urls you provided.
The code snippet they provide to use the tools are not really better then rewriting somehting in .dotnet

Thanks again.
