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.
