Summary


In this chapter, we discussed the most important identity synchronization tools: Microsoft Identity Manager and Azure Active Directory Connect. We walked through the typical synchronization scenarios. Now you're able to adopt the best scenario for your requirements. In the Synchronization terms and processes section, we took a deep dive into the synchronization service, so you know exactly what's happening under the hood, which will help you to avoid mistakes and provide better troubleshooting for synchronization errors.

In the next chapter, we'll explore additional filtering, join attributes, declarative provisioning options, and generic connector usage.
