central office


Explanation:
OK, not much to do with computers or Windows, I am afraid. However, in companies with several locations, this usually refers to the main headquarters locations.

For example, my wife works at the Veterans Administration hospital in LA, but she refers to the central office in Washington DC.

Yes, then 'central office' might be just the ticket for this context. You have a branch office and you are synchronizing the accounts between the branch and the central office.

Asker: This really did require context. 'Synchronisation der in X [computer program] vorhandenen User Accounts mit der bei Y vorhandenen Active Directory (Zentrale Organisationsstelle im Windows Netzwerk)'
