Hello DK,
I completely agree with Tushar Kumar's response. Azure AD Connect is the recommended tool for synchronizing multiple forests with Azure AD. It is more robust than Azure AD Cloud Sync and provides additional features for managing multiple forests.
To synchronize multiple forests with Azure AD Connect, you'll need to install it on a server in each of your forests and configure each instance of Azure AD Connect to sync with the same Azure AD tenant. You'll also need to configure each instance with its own set of synchronization rules and credentials for connecting to the forest.
It's important to keep the forests separate and not create cross-forest trusts or merge the forests in any way, as this can cause issues with the sync process.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Luke Madden
