Download Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync

Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync is a new offering from Microsoft designed to meet and accomplish your hybrid identity goals for synchronization of users, groups, and contacts to Microsoft Entra ID. It accomplishes this by using the Microsoft Entra cloud provisioning agent instead of the Microsoft Entra Connect application. However, it can be used alongside Microsoft Entra Connect Sync and it provides the following benefits:

To determine if cloud sync is right for your organization, use the link below. It will take you to a tool that will help you evaluate your synchronization needs. For more information, evaluate your options using the Wizard to evaluate sync options

During the configuration process the synchronization service account will be created with the format ADToAADSyncServiceAccount@[TenantID].onmicrosoft.com and you may get an error if multi-factor authentication is enabled for the synchronization service account, or other interactive authentication policies are accidentally enabled for the synchronization account. Removing multi-factor authentication or any interactive authentication policies for the synchronization service account should resolve the error and you can complete the configuration smoothly.

Why should you be reviewing cloud synchronization? What is the point of synchronization? If you are like any typical organization, you have a robust on-premises Active Directory structure with many uses, groups and customizations. Thus, your initial goal is to not reinvent the wheel, but rather to integrate your on-premises users with the users you intend to allow access to your cloud resources.

Azure AD Connect is the older of the two synchronization platforms and will ultimately be phased out once the parity between Azure AD Connect sync and Azure AD Connect cloud sync no longer exists. Currently, if you have a large organization, this is still the preferred tool for syncing with Active Directory. But there is a larger resource requirement, as well as a concern over security.

Microsoft Entra Domain Services provides scalable, high-performance, managed domain services such as domain-join, LDAP, Kerberos, Windows Integrated authentication, and group policy. With the click of a button, administrators can enable managed domain services for virtual machines and directory-aware applications deployed in Azure Infrastructure Services. By maintaining compatibility with Windows Server Active Directory, Microsoft Entra Domain Services allows administrators to easily migrate legacy on-premises applications to the cloud and to centralize management of all applications and all identities in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

The great benefits of Cloud Sync is if we run disconnected AD Forest that we can sync them much more easily. If we also move client management and identity management to Intune and Azure AD we can benefit from using cloud sync.

Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync is a new synchronization tool that uses the Microsoft Entra cloud provisioning agent instead of the Microsoft Entra Connect application. It offers a simpler and more efficient way to sync your on-premises Active Directory objects to Microsoft Entra ID. Until now, Microsoft Entra Cloud sync has been missing some features that many organizations need. One of them was Group writeback, the other Device sync.

Installation: Entra Connect Sync requires you to install the Microsoft Entra Connect application on your on-premises server and configure the sync settings in the on-premises Entra connect settings console. Entra Cloud Sync requires you to install the Microsoft Entra Cloud Provisioning Agent on one or more servers and then configure the sync settings in the Microsoft Entra admin center in cloud.

Configuration: With Entra Connect Sync, you can create filters and custom sync rules that filters in or out the objects that you want to sync. With Entra Cloud Sync, you can use OU or group filters to specify sync. You can also add attribute mapping rules, or create your own custom rules. All done in Entra Portal in cloud.

I have a windows 2012 R2 DC with Azure AD Connect version 1.6.16.0 and I need to update to Azure AD Cloud Sync but I am not sure the best/easiest way to do that? I think I will need to install a Windows 2019 server since 2012 R2 is no longer supported. But where I am confused is if i need to do a swing migration or just export the current settings and then install cloud sync and imprt the setting and then delete the old Azure AD Connect?

We will be keeping our users in our on prem AD so I dont know if cloud sync makes every user a cloud only user? If so then we don't want that as we are still using our on prem AD as our main source for users, groups, etc.

Azure AD Connect cloud sync is a quick-to-deploy and lightweight replacement for the traditional Azure AD Connect software application to synchronise your on-premise identities to Azure Active Directory.

As Microsoft plan to completely migrate its identity sync tool to the cloud, its primary focus is invested in developing the new cloud sync tool. So as for any limitations, you can expect these to be included in future updates as the solution is being developed further.

Within the target OU, I have 3 user accounts configured with the UPN of ourcloudnetwork.co.uk. The source sync attribute is the mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid attribute and both Password Hash Sync and Password Writeback is enabled.

I am going to start by setting my existing Azure AD Connect server to staging mode. This is so we know that any changes made by deploying the new Azure AD Connect cloud sync are not being impacted by our existing server.

Starting by heading back to the Azure AD Connect cloud sync configuration page. This is accessed this by logging into and selecting Azure Active Directory > Azure AD Connect > Manage Azure AD Cloud Sync.

How to correctly implement Entra ID Connect sync when users exist in Entra ID as cloud users? - I have a small on-premises exchange server 2016 setup which we're planning to make Hybrid. We do have a O365 environment (Business Standard Licensed) which is independent as users signed in for Teams and SharePoint Online usage. We now have to implement Entra ID Connect (Azure AD Connect) to facilitate Exchange Hybrid deployment. ff782bc1db
