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?

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...

DustinB3403

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.

Yep, that's how I confirmed it!
