Anybody have a good resource on how to set this up the right way for AD Synch to Azure? I’m hesitant to jump into this but getting someone to help is an option that is less appealing as I look at how much they want to charge. I’m sure it’s something I can do myself, but want to make sure I have something that is written well enough that it’s not leaving out steps like most techie write ups seem to do. I know about taking the steps for changing over the users from unroutable to routable domain logins, and the rest seems fairly straight forward, but don’t want to run into this over confident either.

Here’s a great video and a Microsoft article.

Don’t suppose you have any information on how it will affect users already in both systems?

when you install and setup Azure Ad connect, it will create Synchronized identity, meaning your users will have same passwords in cloud and on-prem and you can manage all users attribute on on-prem.

Having a problem. I’m trying to get a user account setup with the right permissions and nothing seems to work. Either it won’t connect seemingly because the service account doesn’t have enough permissions or it tells me the account has too many permissions and won’t let me continue. I tried following the directions in the articles, but as usual they’re not complete. Microsoft’s tech writers have no idea how to be thorough.

If you follow the YouTube video, it’s step by step. Even goes into more detail with filtering what gets synced. I suggest starting with a small test OU and just sync it to start with.

Figured it out finally. Although they make it sound like you can do custom, it’s really not a good idea. Well, if you love working in Powershell and understand all it’s nuances and the multiple lists of commands, maybe. Also, they weren’t very clear of where the connector is to reside.
