Hello All,

I'm running Hybrid Active Directory AD DS OnPremise synchronization to Azure AD with Azure AD Connect.

How can I get some report or alert via email if the Azure AD Sync is not working or not synching longer than 1 hour?

Like from: https://admin.microsoft.com, Home > Directory sync status

Because I found it when the Azure AD Sync wizard is opened, the Sync is stopped, causing more issues until this window is closed.

Also, It would be helpful if I can get an alert on every successful synchronization.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Best Regards,

Venkat Kiran Kona.

    @Venkat Kiran

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

    Usually, the notification email is by default sent whenever the sync service is not running for specific time. Or it also sends notifications when there are some errors while synchronization process.

    You will have to enable this notification in AD connect health option in Azure AD portal.

    To enable email, you can follow below steps,

    1. In the Azure Portal, search for Azure AD Connect Health
    2. Select Sync errors
    3. Select Notification Settings.
    4. At the email notification switch, select ON.
    5. Select the check box if you want all Hybrid Identity Administrators to receive email notifications.
    6. If you want to receive email notifications at any other email addresses, specify them in the Additional Email Recipients box. To remove an email address from this list, right-click the entry and select Delete.
    7. To finalize the changes, click Save. Changes take effect only after you save.
