Azure AD Connect not manually syncing
Sorry if this isn't the right forum, but I just installed Azure AD Connect on a new Windows 2016 domain controller. Azure AD Connect was originally upgraded from DirSync and was running on a Windows...
When I do a manual sync, using PowerShell ("import-module adsync" followed by "start-adsyncsynccycle -policytype delta"), and monitor with the Sync Service Manger, the sync starts and runs, but my changes are not actually synced, nor even detected in the sync stats window. Those changes are synced during normal sync cycle, though.
For part 2, using the Sync Service Manager, if I run the various imports/syncs/exports (6 of them) manually, in the same order as they're run during the PowerShell sync, then the changes are synced properly. By the way, I did not know we could sync this way, so thanks for that tip. But, I didn't see anything I could just right-click on and then run the entire sync process.

You're correct, there is no button or right click to run the whole process. the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle Powershell Commandlet is for that. But you're saying that isn't actually processing changes? Is it showing the exact same steps as the ones you ran manually?
- Max,
Correct. Doing the exact same steps that the Powershell commandlet runs, in the same order, via the manager, works. I'll try the other Pontus' suggested step of removing AD connect in a few days. Until the, I'll just manually run the syncs when required.
