Stale enrollment data in Moodle db

Stale enrollment data in Moodle db

We are trying to use an external db for enrollment data and although students log into Moodle and see their courses, subsequent changes to the extrenal db do not change student access. That is, it seems that moodle's own internal MySQL db continues to use the now stale data it created from the user's last login. I have the "enrol_db_disableunenrol" flag set to 'NO', which (I thought) would cause an update each time the user logs in. At any rate a student dropped from a course would find that he/she cannot access it in Moodle (as a registered student).

Is the execution of a cron job required to update the data on the moodle side?
