List of Active Directory Attributes Mapping to Azure AD Attributes
Hi Guys, I am looking for a list which can tell us which Local AD attribute should be mapped corresponded attribute in Azure AD. For Example: Local AD ---> AzureAD Attribute Mail ---> PrimarySMTPAddress ???? ->>> Office Phone

SATYAM GUPTA The default and recommended approach is to keep the default attributes so a full GAL (Global Address List) can be constructed. Install Azure AD Connect with default attributes and see if you see all required attributes in GAL. Even if you choose all attributes to sync from ON-prem AD, Azure AD does not has all the attributes available from on-prem AD. for e.g. on-prem AD has an attribute called Employeetype which is not available in Azure AD. in that case you have to create the custom rule. etc
for now, just go with default and tune it according to your needs

Apart from the list Deleted linked above, you can also examine the sync rules to see the exact attribute mappings. What is the goal here?
Hi Vasil,
Currenlty we are using MIM to synchronized the identities to Azure AD. We have done the manual mapping for some of the attributes. Like we don't have some attributes in metaverse to map. Even there are some attributes for which we are not even sure to map with which attribute.
