AAD Connect sync local mail attribut as cloud UPN
Hi Everyone, during installation of Azure AD Connect and synching on-premise user accounts into my cloud tenant and matching these with already existing cloud only accounts, I run into the problem t...
Why is that a problem, it's the expected behavior. If you want to customize this behavior, you have to play with the default sync rules.
Here's the logic used by the rules:
IIF(IsPresent([userPrincipalName]),[userPrincipalName], IIF(IsPresent([sAMAccountName]),([sAMAccountName]&"@"&%Domain.FQDN%),Error("AccountName is not present")))
In other words, if the UPN value is populated, it will use that. If the UPN value is not populated, the SamAccountName attribute is used, combined with the @ sign and the domain name.
Hi Vasil, well, it's a problem because it's annoying to work around atm.
If there is a easy way to accomplish my goal without much effort, then I'll be happy but currently I haven't found anything useful.
As I'm not familiar with these rules I haven't touched them yet.
If I understand you correctly I just need to change in your string the "userPrincipalName" to "mail" at the correct place?
