I want to make sure how often the Teams user profile will be renewed after the changes as below: 1. The user profile changed on On-pre AD which synced to an Azure AD 2. The user profile changed on ...
  • Arthur_wang Hi,

    So presuming you are using AAD Connect to sync your on premises identities to Azure AD, Passwords should be pretty swift and attributes should be synched roughly around every 30 minutes.

     

    Azure AD - Is doing it at source, so no need to wait in terms of a sync operation.

     

    In terms of an application/service making use of Azure AD for profile information, it should pretty swift once present and correct within Azure AD, however it will probably be one of those things that requires a few refreshes along the way.

    Is it any particular profile information and whereabouts in Teams are you hoping to consume? So is it say the Organisation structure within the Chat area etc. As top right profile wise you pretty much just have the Picture and Name and I believe or it always has been in the past for me, the quickest way to update that is via Outlook or the application you want to see it in, if available.

     

    So that brings me onto my final point and that is, it will always be quickest (in theory) and desirable where possible to make the change within the application/service where you want to see that change reflected.

     

    Thanks
