AD Connect - Syncing Groups Within Groups

Question

Hi All,

We are new to Azure AD Connect and have a simple question.

We have roughly 500 users we would like to sync and rather than have a group with 500 individual users, we would like to create a group and populate it with other groups which already contain users.

I know the sync'd group can contain other groups, those show in the Azure Portal without issue. The question here is, can the users within the nested groups be sync'd as well?

Answer 1

Hi @Stephen Roy , The nested group needs to be in the in-scope OU, and as long as it's added there it should sync. Unfortunately the documentation isn't the best for this scenario but this document covers some pertinent information. I suggest creating some test users and seeing if it works. If not we can figure out why. Please let me know if you have any questions!

If this answer helped you please mark it as "Verified" so other users may reference it.

Thank you,
James
