Synchronizing Office365 users to Azure AD
I have noticed that when we provision a user in the Office 365 Admin portal, a user is provisioned in Azure AD for our tenant. When this user is provisioned, only the most basic information is synchronized, like user, password, and group membership. Is there a way to have the users physical address synchronize as well?
Hi Russ Burden
Azure AD is the Identity Service used by all Microsoft 365 services.
If you create a user from the O365 portal, it's actually created in Azure AD.
Like when you create a user in Exchange on-prem, it's actually created in the local AD.
That being said, if you fill in the address information in O365, it should also show up in AAD.
I just tested and this works for me.
What attributes don't you see in AAD?
Thijs Lecomte What I have is, for instance, address. If I create a user with no address, but update it later, the update is not synchronized to the AAD object. I have several users that have addresses in o365 Admin that are not populated in AAD.
- I just checked and updating the address field from admin center sync to AAD.
These aren't sync'ed users right? They were created in O365 admin?
