Forcing synchronization with Azure AD Connect 1.1 (AAD Connect 1.1)

  • Article

  • With AAD Connect 1.1, Microsoft no longer have a Windows scheduled task running every 3 hours.

  • The tool now has a built-in scheduler, performing a delta sync every 30 minutes.

 

 To check the scheduler's current configuration:

 

Start Windows PowerShell on the server running the AAD connect 1.1 and type

 

Import-Module ADSync

 followed by

 Get-ADSyncScheduler

 

 

To force a full sync from Windows PowerShell

 Import-Module ADSync

 followed by

 Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial

  

To force a delta sync:

 

Import-Module ADSync

 followed by

 Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta
