Azure AD synchronization + Azure AD connect

Hello,

We use one identity manager 8.1.3.

We have set up a synchronization projet to Azure Ad tenant.

For another need (migratiin from Exchange onprmise to Exchaneg online), we have set up Azure Ad connect server. It synchronizing users based on filters and rules every 30 minutes.

The Azure Ad connector in the synchronization project is working perfectly. But i heard that the Azure AD connect  can create user accounts, and we don t want this to happen, we want the user AAD account o be created by One identiyt manager.

Is there any risks keeping the two tools?

And is there any plugin that can replace Azure AD connect in One identity manager and do the same job : synchronizre AD and Azure AD 

Thank you by advance.

  • Steps are given below-

    Use the operational procedures in this article to customize Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect to meet your organization's needs and requirements.

    Add additional sync admins
    By default, only the user who did the installation and local admins are able to manage the installed sync engine. For additional people to be able to access and manage the sync engine, locate the group named ADSyncAdmins on the local server and add them to this group.

    Assign licenses to Azure AD Premium and Enterprise Mobility Suite users
    Now that your users have been synchronized to the cloud, you need to assign them a license so they can get going with cloud apps such as Microsoft 365.

    To assign an Azure AD Premium or Enterprise Mobility Suite License
    Sign in to the Azure portal as an admin.
    On the left, select Active Directory.
    On the Active Directory page, double-click the directory that has the users you want to set up.
    At the top of the directory page, select Licenses.
    On the Licenses page, select Active Directory Premium or Enterprise Mobility Suite, and then click Assign.
    In the dialog box, select the users you want to assign licenses to, and then click the check mark icon to save the changes.
    Verify the scheduled synchronization task
    Use the Azure portal to check the status of a synchronization.

    To verify the scheduled synchronization task
    Sign in to the Azure portal as an admin.
    On the left, select Active Directory.
    On the left, select Azure AD Connect
    At the top of the page, note the last synchronization.
    Directory sync time

    Start a scheduled synchronization task
    If you need to run a synchronization task, you can do this by:

    Double-click on the Azure AD Connect desktop shortcut to start the wizard.
    Click Configure.
    On the tasks screen, select the Customize synchronization options and click Next
    Enter your Azure AD credentials
    Click Next. Click Next. Click Next.
    On the Ready to Configure screen, ensure that the Start the synchronization process when configuration completes box is selected.
    Click Configure.
    For more information on the Azure AD Connect sync Scheduler, see Azure AD Connect Scheduler.

    Additional tasks available in Azure AD Connect
    After your initial installation of Azure AD Connect, you can always start the wizard again from the Azure AD Connect start page or desktop shortcut. You will notice that going through the wizard again provides some new options in the form of additional tasks.
