add multiple values to ad connect synchronization rule

Question

Is it possible to add more than one value to the value field? for example, I'm trying to filter out all names that begin with 'abc' and 'bu'.

Answer 1

Hello follow the oficial docs here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-sync-configure-filtering#inbound-filtering

There is a logical "AND" between multiple clauses, and a logical "OR" between multiple groups

In this docs - we found this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/concept-azure-ad-connect-sync-declarative-provisioning

STARTSWITH, NOTSTARTSWITH A string compare that evaluates if value is in the beginning of the value in the attribute.

So I recommend you to separate your conditions in groups

Group1 - Name Attribute - STARTSWITH - abc

Group2 - Name Attribute - STARTSWITH - Bu

Hi @Yim, Sam ,

Thanks for reaching out.

Adding more than one value to the value field is not supported, thus you must add multiple GROUPS in the scoping filter in this case, like anonymous user suggested.
