Excerpts from our Synchronization Rules course:
TRANSFORMATIONS – How transformations are used to populate target attributes
In the full video we explain in detail, using demonstrations and out-of-the box examples, how transformations are used to populate target attributes:
- Direct, Constant and Expression flows, source and target attributes
- functions, literals, operators, date formats, parameters
- controlling attribute flows, editing the rules, precedence, Merge Type (Update, Replace, MergeCaseInsensitvie, and Merge)
OBJECT ORCHESTRATION – How synchronization rules manage objects
In the full video we discuss:
- the Azure AD Connect rules that handle objects
- Link Type (Provision, Join, and Sticky Join)
- join rules, and how objects are provisioned into the metaverse (MV) and connector space (CS), how they are deprovisioned, and how these actions result in the creation or deletion of Azure AD accounts, including users, groups and devices
- reverse join and disaster recover
DEFAULT SCENARIOS – How the out-of-the-box synchronization rules support Azure AD Connect scenarios/topologies
The full video explains how the out-of-the-box sync rules support Azure AD Connect scenarios/topologies:
- how inbound rules can deal with various multi-forest scenarios – and how they are written out differently depending on your wizard choices – link type, join rules, provision, deprovision, attribute flow, reverse join etc
- how the cloudFiltered attribute controls outbound provisioning to Azure AD
- which out-of-the-box rules do what, and why you might want to change them
- best practice for changing the default rules
FILTERING – Which AD objects are synchronized to Azure AD
The full video covers:
- how to control which Active Directory objects Azure AD Connect provisions to Azure AD
- the three different ways to filter objects: Domain and OU filtering, Attribute-based filtering, and Group-based filtering

DEVICE OPTIONS – The importance of Azure AD hybrid join
The full video covers:
- device management in Azure AD, and Azure AD Connect device options
- the advantages of Azure AD device hybrid join including which devices can be hybrid joined to Azure AD
