Sync Custom Active Directory Attributes with SharePoint Online User Profiles
Using the last Azure AD Connect you can push custom AD Attributes to Azure AD and Office 365. Why not using this feature to keep sync a local AD multi valued attributes and using it from SharePoint User Profil to build a new Audience? That should work. I will double check and try to write a blog post later next week about this.
I know some customers were using this solution to Update customer user properties but I don't know if it's still necessary with the last version of Azure AD Connect.
Yeah i have heard that the current AAD Connect does custom attributes. i guess i still need to get those custom attributes into a SharePoint Online User Profile. I would like to avoid audiences in SharePoint Online if possible because of the lack of control of compilation schedule, unless that has changed?
If i can get these custom attributes synced by aad connect then into sp online that would be ideal.
Hello Guys,
Is there any news about SharePoint Online User Profile Sync with AAD Connect custom mapped properties?
Let me explain a little, i need some custom properties already mapped on AAD Connect on SharePoint User Profile, on my research i cannot find any way except developing OOB script/EXE to perform this action.

Hi. I have the same necessity. I have the custom attribute in AAD. I need a way to get it over to SharePoint user profile. Any suggestions?
HI Medardo,
For now at least, there is no option to sync custom Active Directory attributes with SharePoint Online automatically.
I followed the instructions of this article and implemented a console application that do the job.
