Hi.

I want to add all AD Users to the Contact table in dataverse.
I assume this is a relatively common scenario, but i have not seen any solutions.

I can probably pull all users from AD & add them to the contacts table, wanted to check if there was a more formal, standardized way of doing this?

Thanks for any expertise and info provided

Its actually not that common a request. There is no out of the box way to do it.
Depending on why you are needing it may determine what approach you take, some possibilities
If they will all be Dataverse users, If you have a clean Dataverse Environment, then you could write a plugin/workflow or use Flow to create a Contact record when a new User is added to the systemusers table (note: this does not work where you are using Dataverse Teams that are Azure Groups due to how that is architected)
Customize your AD to create the Contact records
Pull Azure AD Users into Dataverse, use the Graph API to read details from Azure AD.
