Exam AZ-104 topic 1 question 9 discussion

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.

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/

The answer is B because it will not replicate immediately.

As per MS article, take note of manually running; Full sync cycle A full sync cycle includes the following steps: Full Import on all Connectors Full Sync on all Connectors Export on all Connectors 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. To initiate a full sync cycle, run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial from a PowerShell prompt. Running a full sync cycle can be very time consuming, read the next section to read how to optimize this process. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-sync-feature-scheduler

The answer is B: Microsoft Documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-sync-feature-scheduler If you need to manually run a sync cycle, then from PowerShell run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta. To initiate a full sync cycle, run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial from a PowerShell prompt. Running a full sync cycle can be very time consuming, read the next section to read how to optimize this process. -> Param: -policyType initial runs a full sync

A. Yes. The solution meets the goal of replicating the newly created user account from the on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD immediately. The Start-ADSyncSyncCycle PowerShell cmdlet is used to manually start a synchronization cycle of Azure AD Connect, which replicates changes from the on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD. By specifying the -PolicyType parameter with a value of "Initial," a full synchronization cycle is initiated, which replicates all changes that have not been synchronized to Azure AD.

A. Yes, the solution meets the goal. The Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial PowerShell cmdlet forces a full synchronization of on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD, replicating any new user accounts created in the on-premises Active Directory immediately.

Don't rely on 3rd party blogs. Use the MS documentation. The answer is B. 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. To initiate a full sync cycle, run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial from a PowerShell prompt. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-sync-feature-scheduler

It's incorrect. Answer: B (no) -Delta is missing, since it needs to be immediate. Command would be : Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta

For the scenario where a new user account has been created in the on-premises Active Directory and needs to be replicated to Azure AD immediately, using the -PolicyType Initial parameter with the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle cmdlet would be the better option. This is because the Initial policy type triggers a full synchronization of all objects in the on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD, while the Delta policy type only synchronizes changes that have occurred since the last synchronization. Since the new user account is not yet synchronized to Azure AD, a full synchronization is required to ensure that it is replicated immediately.

No, the solution does not meet the goal. Running the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial cmdlet initiates a full initial synchronization, which is not necessary in this case. To replicate the new user information to Azure AD immediately, you should run the following PowerShell cmdlet: Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta This cmdlet initiates a delta synchronization, which only synchronizes the changes made in the on-premises Active Directory, such as the new user account, to Azure AD.

I would choose B (No). There is no reason to perform an initial sync to synchronize recent changes. Although, the wording is ambiguous. Technically, an initial sync would synchronize those changes eventually.

If you need to manually run a sync cycle, then from PowerShell run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta.

Immediate - you need to use delta sync and not the initial sync

B- No. To summarize, the main difference between “initial” and “delta” sync in AAD synchronization is that the initial sync transfers all the objects and attributes from the on-premises AD, while the delta sync only transfers the changes made since the last sync.

The solution partially meets the goal. The Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial cmdlet initiates an initial sync cycle, which replicates all the changes from on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD. However, it is not recommended to use this cmdlet unless it is the first synchronization cycle because it will affect the performance of the server. Instead, you should use the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta PowerShell cmdlet, which will replicate only the changes made to the on-premises Active Directory since the last synchronization cycle. This cmdlet will allow you to replicate the new user account to Azure AD immediately

Answer A is correct. Question mentions the sync has been setup, but never talked about it is in progress or has been synced before.... A could be correct..
