Office 365-configuring AD synchronization

In previous post we created AD synchronization with Office 365, in this one we’ll see how we can manage it.

Using Synchronization service we can add/exclude Organization Units to/from AD synchronization

Click Connection-properties

Containers

Enter domain admin credentials

Choose what will be synchronized

To manual start synchronization,from connection select connection-right click-Run

To monitor synchronization open Synchronization Rules Editor

Similar tool in Office365 portal is DirSync manager

PowerShell commands

Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure AD Sync\Bin\ADSync\ADSync"

Get synchronization schedule:

Get-ADSyncscheduler

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-ADSyncscheduler

AllowedSyncCycleInterval : 00:30:00
CurrentlyEffectiveSyncCycleInterval : 00:30:00
CustomizedSyncCycleInterval :
NextSyncCyclePolicyType : Delta
NextSyncCycleStartTimeInUTC : 5/30/2018 8:04:05 PM
PurgeRunHistoryInterval : 7.00:00:00
SyncCycleEnabled : True
MaintenanceEnabled : True
StagingModeEnabled : False
SchedulerSuspended : False
SyncCycleInProgress : False

Start synchronization manually:

initial: full synchronization
delta:synchronize changes since last full synchronization

Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -policy initial

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Start-ADSyncSyncCycle

Result
------
Success

Enable scheduled synchronization

Set-ADSyncScheduler -SyncCycleEnabled $true
