Configuring Active Roles to synchronize existing Azure AD objects

In any hybrid environment, on-premises Active Directory objects are synchronized to Azure AD using third-party software, for example via Azure AD Connect. When Active Roles is deployed in such a hybrid environment, to ensure data synchronization between the two systems, the existing user, group and contact information (such as IDs) must be synchronized back from Azure AD to the on-premises AD deployment. To synchronize existing AD users, contacts and groups from Azure AD to Active Roles, use the Azure back synchronization operation, known as Azure BackSync.

You can configure and run Azure BackSync using the BackSync Replacement built-in workflow and script module in the Active Roles Console.

When creating objects such as users, groups or contacts in a federated or synchronized identity environment, the objects are first created on-premises, then get synchronized to Azure using Azure AD Connect. To allow further management, Azure BackSync can obtain the object ID of these objects and update the edsvaAzureObjectID and the edsvaAzureOffice365Enabled attribute in Active Roles.

You must configure sync workflows for the Azure BackSync process to:

  • Identify the unique Azure AD users and groups.

  • Map them to the on-premises AD users or groups.

After completing a BackSync procedure, Active Roles displays the configured Azure attributes for the synchronized objects. For more information on how to configure the Azure BackSync workflow, see Configuring the Azure BackSync workflow.

Changes to Azure M365 Policies in Active Roles after 7.4.1

Active Roles 7.4.3 introduces support for Azure Multi tenant model. Multiple tenants can be configured on the Web Interface. You can manage the Azure objects from multiple tenants from the Web Interface.

The previous custom policies related to Azure Roles and licenses, and OneDrive are not valid and the policy evaluation is skipped after an import or upgrade. Active Roles 7.4.3 introduces a new Azure/Microsoft 365 Tenant Management policy that encompasses all the previous Azure related policies such as Azure Roles and Licenses, and OneDrive policies. Configure the latest Azure/Microsoft 365 Tenant Selection policies to proceed further. The Web Interface notifies the user if any older policies are applied on the OU. Deprovisioning policy for Azure license retention is invalid and must be created again and applied. For more information on the new policy, see O365 and Azure Tenant Selection.

Unified provisioning policy for Azure M365 Tenant Selection, Microsoft 365 License Selection, Microsoft 365 Roles Selection, and OneDrive provisioning

The O365 and Azure Tenant Selection provisioning policy is a unified policy for all M365 user license and user role management as well as OneDrive provisioning for Azure AD users. This M365 management for users is controlled or restricted by creating a new provisioning policy and applying the policy to the Organizational Unit.

How the M365 and Azure Tenant Selection policy works

The O365 and Azure Tenant Selection provisioning policy is a unified policy for Azure Microsoft 365 management for users, controlled or restricted by creating a new provisioning policy and applying the policy to the Organizational Unit. This policy is used for tenant selection, Microsoft 365 license selection, and Microsoft 365 roles selection, and OneDrive provisioning for Azure AD users.

This policy is also used for tenant selection for groups and contacts.
