Forcing sync between on-prem AD and AAD

Question

I currently have my AD and AAD syncing using Azure AD connect. When I create a user on AD, it takes close to an hour to reflect the change on AAD.

Do you guys know a way to force a sync after user creation? I have tried the "Sync Service Manager" -> connectors -> windows AAD -> run -> full sync method but it still does not create the new user I added to AD into AAD. is there a way to force the update?

all replies are much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @Mychal Abello ,

Yes it is possible to force a synchronization between on-premise Active Directory (AD) to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), by using the Start-AdSyncSchedule PowerShell cmdlet from the ADSync PowerShell module.

You can have a look at the step-by-step guide below:
