How to Sync AD manually to Azure AD

How to Sync AD Manually?

To initiate a Delta Sync, open Windows PowerShell and run:

Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta

To initiate a Full Sync, open Windows PowerShell and run:

Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial

Note:

Full sync is the mechanism where all the data is verified from the source and updated. But with D**elta Sync** only changes are committed. Mostly in production daily we use delta because of heavy data. And full sync is proposed on weekends.
