In the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect utility, I added the info attribute to the directory extensions. I am trying to determine if that attribute is actually syncing.

Hi @Jessie Williams

Thank you for reaching us!

If I understand correctly, from Entra connect utility you have added an info attribute in Directory extensions and you would like to know the attribute is sync with the Entra ID or not.

By using Synchronization Service Manager, you find the result of attributes sync.
Please read Sync Service Manager Metaverse Search for more details.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries by responding in the comments section.

Thanks,

Akhilesh.

I do not have metaverse search. If there a command line option to check what is syncing?

This does not answer the question. I don't have an issue with syncing. I am trying to determine if the new value is being brought over in the sync.

Simply look-up the attribute value in Entra ID

Use Microsoft Graph to query the attribute value, as described in the following thread
