Sync from Azure AD to local AD

Hi all

 

Hope everyone is well. Please can someone assist me with the following question. We are in the process of creating a new staff on-boarding solution in AAD. This solution will create the user account in AAD as well. Is there anyway to sync this user information back down to local AD? Is there perhaps a third party app we can look at??

 

Appreciate any advice...

  • Hi there,

     

    Until there's native account write-back in AAD I would strongly recommend following AD>AAD.

     

    I have some scripts to backport AAD accounts to AD if you would like them. I have them in a blog post on www.wave16.com, however you cannot fix the password issue and there's also the fact this isn't an ideal scenario.

    Hi

    There isn't any way to sync users back to AD from AAD natively.

    I don't know of any third party products.
    You could try to script this.

    But why are you creating the users in AAD in the first place?

      Thijs Lecomte if you still need on-AD then you need to author all your accounts in AD, you should not have a JML creating some users in AD and some in AAD...

      Because AAD is the way forward and leading identity management platform in all our current projects. Furthermore is it super easy to build a PowerApp for the customers so that HR can create new staff and have them land in the right teams with access to the right resources. #Its2019 🙂
