Issue with Filtering Users by smtp: in ProxyAddresses Attribute Using Microsoft Entra Connect Synchronization Rules Editor

Question

How can I filter users by their proxyAddresses attribute using the Microsoft Entra Connect Synchronization Rules Editor? The positive filter with the operator CONTAINS and value domain.com works for users with a primary proxy email address like SMTP:example@domain.com, but not for users with email addresses like smtp:example@domain.com or example@domain.com without smtp: prefix. What should I do to filter users that way?

As I understand you want to define a custom sync rule that will filter based on domain suffix set in proxy address attribute with smtp.

You can create rule based on below screenshot.

In the above rule there are groups and clauses. Groups are separated by logical "OR" and clauses are separated by logical "AND".

I have created a rule with smtp and domain.com with clause and I have added another group with domain.com.

This means any proxyaddresses with smtp and domain.com will get filtered. Or any Proxyaddresses with domain.com will get filtered.

Try this and let me know if this works. Else we can set up a call to troubleshoot this further.
