I am the lead for a tenant to tenant migration of 2,000 accounts. Both source (Fabrikam) and destination (Contoso) environments are using hybrid Exchange and Entra Connect (AADC) with premise Active Directory for identity synchronization. We need to have the Fabrikam premise Active Directory synchronize user and groups to both tenants (Fabrikam tenant and Contoso tenant) at the same time. This would be temporary until the migration is done, as the Fabrikam tenant will be eliminated in the end.

I was reading the supported Entra Connect topologies and I don’t see the one I am describing. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/plan-connect-topologies

What I am describing is in the picture below. Can one Entra Connect server sync the Fabrikam premise AD to the Fabrikam tenant, while another Entra Connect server sync the Fabrikam premise AD and Contoso premise AD to the Contoso tenant? This is possible and is it supported by Microsoft?

    Hi @WhirlpoolFishing99-1339

    It's possible to syn object to multiple tenant but you should take in account some limitation mentioned in the link below:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/plan-connect-topologies#sync-ad-objects-to-multiple-microsoft-entra-tenants

    For your information , you can configure B2B collaboration between your tenans , if you want allow some users from tenant A to access on ressource in tenant B: Configure cross-tenant access settings for B2B collaboration.
