Security group not syncing to AAD
Hi All, My Azure AD and onpremises AD were in sync and all the Users and groups were syncing properly, but all of a sudden my Security groups are not syncing to AAD. Whatever changes I make on ON...
Hopefully this helps someone, but I had a similar problem. I would change the name of a security group (SG) in on-premises Active Directory (AD), and when doing a delta sync in AD Connect, the new name change would not reflect in Azure Active Directory (AAD). Here is how I fixed it:
Go to the properties of the SG and click on the Attribute Editor tab. Go to the displayName attribute. Here you will notice that it has the old name of the SG. Simply update this attribute with the new name, perform another delta sync in AD Connect, and you will see this updated in AAD.
For some reason, SG's that have the displayName attribute populated, have this problem. All other SG's that I have in my environment that do not have the displayName populated, sync over fine when doing name changes.
