You manage an Active Directory domain named contoso.local.
You install Azure AD Connect and connect to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com without syncing any accounts.
You need to ensure that only users who have a UPN suffix of contoso.com in the contoso.local domain sync to Azure AD.
Solution: You use Synchronization Rules Editor to create a synchronization rule.
Does this meet the goal?

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Filtering what objects are synced to Azure AD is a common request and there are many instances where filtering by OU just doesn't cut it. One option is to filter users by their UPN suffix so that only users with the public FQDN as their UPN suffix are synced to Azure AD (e.g., [email protected] would be synced while [email protected] would not).
Filtering can be configured using either the GUI or PowerShell.
Through GUI:
Using The Synchronization Rules Editor
1. Open the Synchronization Rules Editor on the server where Azure AD Connect is installed.

2. Click the Add new rule button on the View and manage your synchronization rules window.
3. Fill out the appropriate fields on the Description tab and click Next >.
4. On the Scoping filter tab, click Add group, then Add clause, add a userPrincipalName attribute filter, and click Next >.

Attribute: userPrincipalName -

Operator: ENDSWITH -
Value: Your internal UPN suffix prefixed with @ (e.g., @internal.acme.com). Users with this UPN suffix will NOT be synced with Office 365.
