Hello,
I need to connect Microsoft Entra to my Active Directory. I'm doing this with the Microsoft Entra Connect synchronization utility, which I'm trying to install on a server other than the AD server.
But my local domain name is different from the Microsoft Entra ID domain:
My local network domain name with UPN suffix: groupepopy.local
Entra ID domain name: popy.fr
So I created the UPN suffix "popy.fr" in my Active Directory domain. But the connection is trying to be made using both names, see screenshot below:
Microsoft Security | Microsoft Entra | Microsoft Entra ID

2025-03-12T15:50:38.62+00:00 I've already looked into this procedure. But I'm afraid I'll have to check the box "Continue without matching all UPN suffixes to verified domains".
What are the negative consequences if it doesn't work?

2025-03-21T08:49:55.2466667+00:00 Hello,
Even if I add the suffix and it's checked "verified," in the procedure, I'm still required to check that it's not possible to continue without matching all UPN suffixes to verified domains.
I preferred to no longer follow the procedure and not connect my local AD to Entra.
