Using PowerShell to sync changes to Azure from local Active Directory
PowerShell Command to initiate an Azure AD Sync
Running Active Directory and Azure AD Connect to sync local changes to Azure can sometimes require manually updating or submitting those changes to Azure.
This can be done using PowerShell and a simple command that will send changes to Azure. Password changes are fast but other changes in group or user properties can take some time. This will help speed that up.
Simple open a PowerShell command prompt on the Azure AD connect server as admin . Then run the following command as shown in the screen capture:
Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -policyType Delta
Be sure to include the Delta portion of the command . do not use initial. Using the initial option could potentially cause issues.
This will sync all recent changes from yur local AD to Azure immediately. if you're not having any local AD replication issues then you will nearly immediately see the updates in Azure.
Speed up replication between local domain controllers
To speed up replication between all domain controllers run the command at an elevated command prompt: repadmin /syncall /APeD .
