AD connect not sync device objects
Hello,
I have a challenge. I installed AD connect the user objects are synchronized. Only the device objects are not synchronized. AD connect for device sync is configured correctly. As soon as I create a new device object in AD (in the same OU as the existing device objects / same group membership) it is synchronized. Only the existing device objects are not synchronized.
I think it may be due to the security permissions of the device objects. How can I check it? Which security permissions the sync user needs on the device objects?
What can I do to ensure that the device objects are synchronized?
Thank you for your support?
Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,Based on what you’ve written, I suspect the issue might be:
- Existing objects have incorrect or incomplete attributes
Azure AD Connect only synchronizes objects that meet certain requirements. If the existing objects are missing necessary attributes, such as:
msDS-DeviceID (the unique ID of the device).
OperatingSystem and OperatingSystemVersion.
You can check these attributes for the existing device objects in Active Directory using the following PowerShell command:Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=YourDevicesOU,DC=yourdomain,DC=com" -Property msDS-DeviceID, OperatingSystem, OperatingSystemVersion.
If any attributes are missing, make sure to populate them and then test the synchronization again.
Let me know of this is helpful
- Existing objects have incorrect or incomplete attributes
Have you checked if the objects have synced to the metaverse? Anything in the sync logs?
Nothing is in the sync logs.
Have you checked if the objects have synced to the metaverse? (How can I check this?)There must be some activity in the sync logs.
