      Are you using the latest version of AAD sync manager? It pretty much syncs when it notices a change. The old DirSync forced you to sync manually when you wanted to force a change like you described above, but if you ran the powershell command:

      cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Azure Active Directory Sync\DirSync"
      .\importModules.ps1
      Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync
      

      it would do all those things with one command.

        @Mike-Davis I don't have this directory or file name anywhere on our Exchange server.

          @DustinB3403 It should be on your dir sync server if you're running an old version of Dir Sync.

          You are trying to sync your accounts with Azure, correct?

            Correct, but there is no hybrid between our on-premise and Azure.

              As we create a user account on our On-premise DC, we then have to manually set the SMTP address which pushes the account details to Microsoft to "create" the mailbox.

              But before the account syncs with Microsoft we have to run the steps in the OP to sync. (or wait 3 hours).

              Which once the user is on Office365, we then can assign a license and they are all set to go.

                Do you have DirSync / Azure AD Connect running on your exchange server or another server?

                      These are the file paths that I have.

                      Edit: I do have a "Windows Azure Active Directory" folder, but it's empty.

                        That looks like how the newer version is set up. Is it running version 1.1.343.0 or higher?

                          I'm an idiot.

                          You mean the sync manager.

                          It is running 1.1.380.0

                              I would upgrade it and see if it doesn't sync automatically after that.

                                This is a production system, and we've had a hard enough time getting back to operable.

                                I'm just trying to simplify my life a bit, by not having to manually run the sync process for any new hires we may have to create.

                                  Also isn't this the newest version?

                                  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=47594

                                  Edit: which matches what we have installed.

                                    So I've found this.

                                    Which is summarized as this.

                                    Import-Module ADSync
                                    
                                    Get-ADSyncScheduler
                                    
                                    Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta
                                    

                                    But that doesn't seem right... why would the GUI have 6 processes, and the powershell version only have 3...

                                      haha... well that was in fact the answer.

                                        When you fire that power shell script off, if you go back to the sync manager, you'll see it does all 6 things. 🙂
