Sync users from tenant A to tenant B both ways
I would personally avoid using the "resource tenant" pattern if there are only two tenants in the picture, I like simplicity.
I am not aware of any plans to decommission MIM as a product but anyway, if I were you, I would explore the Scripted collaboration option and use e.g. Azure Functions (PowerShell) to implement this "push" automation using Delta Query.
Hi ramonabadea ,
I believe that AAD Connect uses MIM synchronization engine "under the hood" but the tool doesn't work for cross AAD tenant sync. If you choose to use MIM, as long as you have AAD P1 or P2 licenses (and a Windows Server OS license), you should be able to use it: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/active-directory/
The "Multi-tenant User Collaboration Patterns..." whitepaper talks about three distinct scenarios with different solutions. From your initial description I would think that the "Scripted collaboration" scenario (with Delta Queries, and MS Graph) would be a good fit for you, unless you require more advanced feature for M365. Or have you concluded you need those advanced features?
No advanced feature for M365 needed, the use case is very simple, just user sync between two different tenants.
I thought global tenant topology would be shorter in time to implement, but I think MIM is a tool that will be deprecated at some point or out of support anyways - found some article mentioned the end of this year.
So maybe, the scripted solution is indeed the only accessible...

- Thanks a lot for the recommendation and help, David 🙂
