Summary


In this chapter, you learned about declarative provisioning and how synchronization rules work. We explored practical examples to learn how to use standard sync rules and how to create our own. You also learned how to use PowerShell to configure synchronization rules and block/delete attributes to and in Azure AD. With the integration of another untrusted Active Directory, you saw the standard procedure to do this and to customize your synchronization options to define precisely what should happen in your environment.

In the next chapter, we'll show you how to monitor your synchronization solution.
