Azure AD Connect not manually syncing
MicrosoftPaul,
When you run the Delta Cycle via Powershell vs when the scheduler runs, are there expected changes that are supposed to be syncing? What I mean is, by chance is there actually nothing for the sync cycle to pick up when you run it manually?
Have you also tried to right click > Run (manually sync) a sync cycle? Does that work not work compared to the scheduler sync cycles every 30 min?
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.
