Azure AD Connect -- Attribute Value Must Be Unique
-- Updating from my previous message --
I managed to get syncing attempts happening by removing the group filter.
As my test group, I made a special OU for the test user and am applying the sync only to this OU.
I am now a bit further, but stumped again.
Both AD accounts and AAD accounts are pre-existing:
AD Account: j.smith@domain.com (actually a .local account, but UPN added to AD)
AAD Account: john.smith@domain.com
When the sync happens, I am getting "Error: Attribute Value Must Be Unique"
Looking deeper at the error, it is mentioning the error is in relation to the ProxyAddress.
I have already defined the following in AD for the j.smith user:
email (General Tab): john.smith@domain.com
Proxy Address (Attribute Editor): SMTP:john.smith@domain.com
this does not seem to help though. I have tested also by removing Proxy Address and still no go.
any thoughts?
Fixed this item.
The issue was the test account (my account) was a Global Admin in AzureAD. I needed to demote the account to user account first, make the sync, and then re-enable global admin for my account.I had the same issue. My scenario is:
Account Name in local directory: John Miller
UPN: Email address removed and
mail: Email address removed
I synched the object with the attribute mail because I won't the user's use the mail how to login for different services.
When I synched an Object that already was in AAD, I obtain the same error: Error: Attribute Value Must Be Unique
I tried to put in the local directory the attribute mail and the acttribute proxy and than I synched again but first I deleted the new object created in the AAD. Remember to erase the object also in the deleted users in AAD.
