Hello,

Is there a website or can anyone tell me what Operations do/trigger/what happens during a operation?

ad.contoso.com Full Import

contoso.onmicrosoft.com Full Import

ad.contoso.com Full Synchronization

contoso.onmicrosoft.com Full Synchronization

ad.contoso.com Export

contoso.onmicrosoft.com Export

What do the step by step operations do/mean can anyone give some guidance or link to an article ?

ad.contoso.com Full Import reads from local AD but why a Full Import from/to contoso.onmicrosoft.com as second step?

Please guide this man :-)

    Hi dirkverhagen123,

    There is no official articles that describes the detailed operations during the directory synchronization from local AD. For your concern about the synchronization, we suggest you contact our dedicated Microsoft Azure Support Forumfor effective assistance.

    Thanks for your time and understanding.

    Hi Dirk

    We don’t have related official articles or websites talking about the detailed processes of the six steps. We can give you a basic understanding of the process. Actually, the Full import from AD to connector Space (ad.contoso.com Full Import) and the Full import from Azure AD to its connector space (contoso.onmicrosoft.com Full Import) happens at the same. They both drag data from AD and AAD respectively to their own connector Space. After that, full synchronization occurs. In this step, the two syncs (ad.contoso.com Full Synchronization & contoso.onmicrosoft.com Full Synchronization) also happens at the same time. This process sync the data which have been imported to their connector spaces to the Metaverse. Then, based on the rules defined in the Azure AD Connect sync tool, the two group of data will perform some actions such as matchings and provisions in Metaverse. Once this is done, it goes to the Export process in which the updated data will be exported AD source and AAD source. This also happens at same time for them.

    Best regards,

    Ran
