Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A platform.

Yes, you can initiate a sync manually using PowerShell.
You can open Windows PowerShell as administrator on the AD connect server.
Run command "Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta" if you want to run delta sync.
Run command "Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial" if you want to run full sync.

If you get an error stating above command sets are not available, then you can run command "Import-Module ADSync" to load the modult.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
