Customize Synchronization Rule in Entra Connect Sync

Hi Everyone,

I want to create a sync rule in Entra Connect Sync client so that only users based on a specific attribute sync to Entra ID and stop all other users in AD from syncing to Entra, how can I do that?

Can someone here help me out!

    Hello Sohaib, 

    You should look into inbound filtering documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-sync-configure-filtering#inbound-filtering

     

    If you are looking for a practical guide you can also check this out: https://mymeasi.wordpress.com/2019/11/23/field-notes-azure-active-directory-attribute-based-filtering/

    Goodluck!
