Office365 DirSync

[sparkeh]

...wait...just to check, are you using DirSync or Azure AD Connect?

The window screen is of synchronization service manager of azure ad connect. I didnt know that dirsync was still available.

 

When i run Azure AD connect and view the config, things look fine in there. The account is domain\msol_......

 

The task scheduler is disabled though im not sure what that is syncing.

Yeah sorry it just popped into my head that there are issues using the old DirSync rather than AD connect.

 

Funnily enough I can't run the Synchronisation Service Manager, says the service is not running!?

 

Though we have a scheduled task enabled to sync every night.

I got it working about 15:30 but had to dash off. I ran the task in task scheduler and i got a dll error on the office365 domain but then everything else seemed

^^

 

to be ok. I gave it a go on office365 and low and behold, it worked. I tried that many things and i seem to think the sync worked.

Have you made sure the user you are logging into the server as is a member of the local security group MIISAdmins? Thats what MS state, however have you also made sure that he same user is a member of ADSyncAdmins? Now i dont have MIISAdmins group in my local user manager on the server.

 

I was going to ask how long it takes a sync between setting a pw and the sync to take place and it seems to me that its about 2 mins and i dont have to force it, it seems to just work, so i guess the synchronization sevice manager is there so you can configure what OUs need to be sync'd.
