Azure AD Connect is not synchronizing Computer objects
I resolved it by configuring proxy-exceptions 🙂
The reason for not synchronizing the computer-objects was that the computers were not able to contact Azure AD connection-points what is necessary to change attributes (usercertificate) so that Azure AD Connect will synchronize it to AAD.
1. Computer Account Objects - Were they syncing before
2. What version of Windows ( Windows 10 or Windows 7/8) ? Older Versions than Windows 10 are not supported.
3. Have you configured filtering to check OU of the Workstaion where your Computer Objects are residing in Local AD. Refer - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-sync-configure-filtering
Refer for hybrid Identity Join - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/devices/hybrid-azuread-join-managed-domains
Do let me know if it works, Pls make a note that there is a separate licensing requirement for Hybrid AD join , and if you dont wish to do a Hybrid AD join on your Workstation, there is no point or use of syncing your Workstation Objects to Azure AD via Azure AD Connect :)

Its a new installation and we have Windows 10 computers here. OU-Filtering is fine, Troubleshooter also saying "OK" for it.
We want to do hybrid join for conditional access and were have Microsoft 365 E3 licenses, so everything should work :-)
Kind regards

Patrick B Additionally, cam you confirm if in your configuration Computer Objects are selected to be Synced to Azure
To check this - Connectors < LOcal AD Connector < Right CLick < Properties < Select Object Types.
Can you confirm Computer is checked,
if it is not already your issue lies there , check and wait for next sync to finish.
