How to Sync AD manually to Azure AD

How to Sync AD Manually?

  • To initiate a Delta Sync, open Windows PowerShell and run:

Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta

  •  To initiate a Full Sync, open Windows PowerShell and run:

Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial


Note:

Full sync is the mechanism where all the data is verified from the source and updated. But with Delta Sync only changes are committed. Mostly in production daily we use delta because of heavy data. And full sync is proposed on weekends.
