Question 9

Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.

Your company has an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named weyland.com that is configured for hybrid coexistence with the on-premises Active

Directory domain.

You have a server named DirSync1 that is configured as a DirSync server.

You create a new user account in the on-premise Active Directory. You now need to replicate the user information to Azure AD immediately.

Solution: You run the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial PowerShell cmdlet.

Does the solution meet the goal?

Yes

Correct Answer: B

Running the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial PowerShell cmdlet initiates a full synchronization cycle. While this does replicate user information from on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD, it is not the most efficient method for immediate replication. The initial synchronization can take a considerable amount of time, especially if there are many changes or a large directory. For immediate replication of the newly created user account, the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta cmdlet should be used instead. This delta synchronization only replicates the changes since the last synchronization, making it faster and more suitable for immediate needs.

Discussion

imartinezOption: B

Answer is B ( No ) Initial will perform a full sync and add the user account created but it will take time, Delta, will kick off a delta sync and bring only the last change, so it will be "immediately" and will fulfill the requirements.

juniorccs

if the delta will be bring the last changes, so it's okay here, isn't it ? the answer should be then "YES" , correct ? where am I lost here ?

Bere

In the solution of this question they say “-PolicyType Initial”. However you must use “-PolicyType Delta” to get only the change made and sync it immediately. So the answer is “No”.

skydivex

The answer is A (YES), since the question did not mention the initial sync has been already done. A is correct

jackdryan

A is correct.

YEP! i have also explained this in my comment.

maxmarco71Option: A

Answer is A YES delta:synchronize changes since last full synchronization Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -policy initial PS C:\Users\Administrator> Start-ADSyncSyncCycle Result ------ Success https://geekdudes.wordpress.com/2018/06/05/office-365-configuring-ad-synchronization/

SilverFox22

Yes, this technically works, but as per the question, you want the change to be immediate. If the Initial was run against a large directory, that could take some time. Instead, run a Delta to just capture the change made and sync it immediately: Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta. Thus answer is B, NO.

mitya

Immediate in this case can just mean that you don't need to wait of scheduled Sync, so to run the Initial sync should work also

Shnash

But is questions, it says needs to replicate the user information immediately. so it is pointed here for single user who recently added.

GBAU

This is the problem with Microsoft exams, interpreting the meaning of a work like immediately in a question. There is no way to "replicate the user information to Azure AD immediately", every replication process takes time. I would take the immediate to mean the fastest way. We don't know the size of AD so an initial could take a long time, so a delta is the only way, so I say the answer is B No, but Microsoft...

DataTravelerOption: B

The answer is explicitly stated in the Microsoft documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-sync-feature-scheduler "It could be that you have an urgent change that must be synchronized immediately, which is why you need to manually run a cycle. If you need to manually run a sync cycle, then from PowerShell run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta."

azmlanOption: A

As per to chatgpt answer is A Running the `Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial` PowerShell cmdlet initiates an initial synchronization cycle between your on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD. This command ensures that changes made in the on-premises Active Directory, such as creating a new user account, are replicated to Azure AD immediately. Therefore, yes, the solution meets the goal of replicating the newly created user information to Azure AD immediately.

roses2021Option: B

The answer is NO. Please refer to the Microsoft link below: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-sync-feature-scheduler#full-sync-cycle

3c5adceOption: A

A- YES. Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta is the ideal route - but - if you had to go the "Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial" it would work (but slowly). Given that some questions and answers are outdated, I would still say A, YES.

varinder82Option: B

Final Answer: B (No)

MarkodukOption: A

A is the right answer

BanthonyBOption: A

Yes, the solution meets the goal. Running the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial PowerShell cmdlet will initiate a full synchronization cycle, which includes replicating new user information from the on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD immediately1.

BanthonyBOption: A

Nico1973Option: A

Solution Analysis: The command Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial triggers a full synchronization cycle in Azure AD Connect. This cycle is used to immediately synchronize all changes, including the newly created user account, from the on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD. Conclusion: Answer: A. Yes The given solution meets the goal of replicating the user information to Azure AD immediately.

shobhitmathur18Option: A

The Start-ADSyncSyncCycle cmdlet is used in PowerShell to manually start a synchronization cycle for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect. This cmdlet is often utilized to initiate an immediate synchronization of directory changes from on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD, instead of waiting for the next scheduled synchronization cycle.

tsummeyOption: B

This is a bad question. The PowerShell cmdlet 'Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial' would work, but the word 'immediately' in the requirements makes B a better choice. The powershell cmdlet 'Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta' will only synchronize the changes since the last sync. It would be faster than 'Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial' and come close to meeting the 'immediately' requirement

ClayG5Option: B

B (NO) is the only correct answer. No, running the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial PowerShell cmdlet does not meet the goal. This cmdlet initiates a full synchronization cycle, which is not necessary for replicating a single new user account to Azure AD. Instead, you should use the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta cmdlet, which performs a delta sync, replicating only the changes made since the last sync cycle, including the new user account. For immediate replication of a single object, you might also consider using the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta cmdlet, which is specifically designed for such tasks

Forkbeard

This totally depends on what you subjectively experience as 'immediately'. How many users, sites, how much bandwidth? Six users, one site, symmetrical Gb connections: yes, I'd say initial is pretty immediate. Eight thousand users, sixty sites, dial-up connections: I'd say not immediate. The answer lies somewhere in between and is subjective, hence the answer cannot be binary. I hereby reject the question!

Morgan91Option: B

Answer is B - NO Run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta for delta Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial is for full sync cycle
