Hi,

we have in our local AD a security group with computer objects.
I am trying to synchronize this group to AzureAD.

The group is synchronized, but unfortunately without the computer objects.
Is it not allowed to synchronize groups with computer objects to AzureAD?

best regards
christian

    Hi @Anonymous , this should be possible to do. Have you looked at this thread to make sure all your settings are correct?

    I’ve just had a similar problem.

    The computer accounts and groups were showing up in the Azure AD portal, however the computers weren’t in the groups.

    It turned out that the AD OU that the computers are in had been filtered out in Azure AD Connect.
    Once that the filtering in Azure AD connect had been corrected, the computers were added to the groups.
    It seams that the computers had added themselves into Azure AD via a different process.
