Sync mail attribute from Entra ID to local Active Direcotry
Hello,
First question here and can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
I have an existing sync with Entra Connect/Azure AD connect, however for local LDAP purposes I need to have the "mail" attribute in local Active Directory populated with the value of the user emailaddress in Entra ID. Is there any way that I can modify the connector so Entra ID syncs this value to local Active Directory?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Maik Brugman
- Synchronization is always one way, from AD to Entra. The only exception is when you have the "Hybrid" setting enabled, which allows a limited set of attributes to be synced back, as detailed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/reference-connect-sync-attributes-synchronized#exchange-hybrid-writeback
"Mail" is not ones of those attributes, but proxyAddresses is, so perhaps you can leverage that.
