What is Soft Match and Hard Match in Azure AD Connect | How to Soft Match and Hard Match

[@גוסטגוסטוייבסקי]

4.5 hours for searching how to resolve this issue !! your video solved it in 5 minuts

[@priyapd24]

Very clear and crisp with the concept and execution. I learned something new today! Happy with your sessions🤩

[@jeffdreps1878]

While the tutorials took a while to go through, I cannot think of one that was not necessary for understanding Azure AD Connect. (I did skip the one on PassThrough authentication since we decided on Password-Hash Sync.) I appreciated the summary of the previous lesson and topics for the current lesson and summa ray at the end of each one. Keep up the good work. I look forward to future videos.

[@Office365Concepts]

Can you please provide scenario based question and answers on this? It will be very helpful for interviews.

[@SKBIN4K]

Thank you for this Video bro Amazing

[@networkn]

Great Video. Thanks for sharing. I have a weird scenario where I have 2 users synced. UPN and Display Names match for OnPrem and AAD, but one Synced and one had a new user created in AAD. Neither has anything populated under Attribute Editor, for ProxyAddresses. Any ideas why it creates a new user?

[@TN_HondaDad]

Wonderful, clear and concise video and explanation, thank you. However, I have attempted several times to sync a brand new user in AD to an existing user in O365 with the same matching attributes of displayname, UPN and primary SMTP but it will not match the user. It creates the 'secondary account" with the extension as you described. I am unable to figure out why user will not match? Any suggestions? I do not want to go the hard match route as I have 500+ users I will have to match up. Thank you in advance Dhanyavaad!!

[@hexa9430]

Thanks a bunch, mate!

[@benjamingeorge100]

Wonderful classes. Could you please upload the video related to the password protection of azure with the hybrid model? Because I am a little confused regarding the password lockout policy in on-premises & Azure password protection how it will work if we login into the client workstation even login through the Azure portal.

[@mascotsubham]

Thank you for the content sir, really appreciate that. Please keep it up.

[@mignanwandeboris2111]

Hello, thank you again for this deep insight into Azure AD Connect. When i match a user who does not have exchange on prem, what may be the impact on outlook 365 ? As well as other service that is not present in my prem environment

[@shabeelaboobacker352]

Excellent classes. Could you specify what are the TCP/UDP ports in order to run office 365 services from onprem ad to azure AD?

[@edwinrombouts3984]

Excellent eplanation

[@Office365Concepts]

Thank you.

[@obaidshaukat3412]

Hi mate, thanks for the awesome video, i was stuck on Soft Match, but this demo helped me sort out the issue, i am just wondering what could be the possible reason of failed soft match, becuase it happened on newly created user on Azure AD but not for Old users.

[@tech_tutorials2053]

very useful. thanks

Very helpful, thanks.

[@Office365Concepts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@peterclarke9859]

Thank you for that. Can i ask, what happens when you have ms-ds-consistencyguid as the source anchor. Will it do a hard match based on that?.

[@Office365Concepts]

Hi, to perform hard match you need to convert objectID to immutableID. cons-guid is just an attribute similar to objectID used to uniquely identify object by aad Connect.

[@abdu2s]

Thank you sir

[@Kojocan]

well explained

[@Office365Concepts]

Thank you.

[@remmlb]

Thank you very much for the amazing videos :) Can we do the same process for security groups? Do security groups have soft match as well? For example what if a security group does not have a proxy address. Or must they be hard matched? Thanks in advance!

[@jumratbooonjaroen8185]

Thank you so much for contribution. My question when you run ldifde output file object GUID. Already convert to me base 64? If we use power shell AD output csv Get-aduser. Object GUID need to convert to base 64 format after that we can set-msoluser?

[@PradeepSharma-hv4xo]

Yes you are right

[@tony6626]

Your video series is excellent thank you. How does soft/hard match work when you have Exchange Hybrid server in place (and the Exchange GUID that should be tagged on AD accounts synced to O365)?

[@Office365Concepts]

Hi, on-premise mailbox exchange good is stamped when you migrate a mailbox to O365. Hard Match or Soft Match is a concept of matching 2 accounts (not mailboxes). I hope this answers your query. Please let me know if your query is different.

[@Nawinsana]

this video was very useful to me... Sir! Can you please make a detailed video on IDFix tool ?

[@Office365Concepts]

Noted. Thank you.

[@nirajpaudel492]

Great

[@gotdamnimin]

The ObjectGuid I get from AD itself is not the same format as the one from AzureAD, does this mean I will have to convert to the correct format?

[@alibahjet516]

thanks , sorry but if i have 500 user in O365 and i need to transfer and manage all user on my on-prim AD how i can do that ????

[@lasolution365]

Do I need to configure the Proxy address or only the UPN is required?

[@adisid]

great

[@ozrahman126]

If I perform a hard match. Can I sync hybrid devices via azure ad connect and enroll the devices in intune?

[@M365ITTuts]

Thanks for the video bro. Could you make any detailed video on how to setup a lab in VM to have on-prem active directory which I can practice with AAD connect to do all these tasks in your videos. I already have a tenant from work with M365 E5 licenses but I have zero on-prem experience. Any video tutorial will be helpful.

[@joydeepchakraborty5330]

There's a scenario for synced environment where one of the users is still showing in cloud instead of sync from onprem. Tried the hard match to stamp the object guid with the immutable ID. What next to do?

[@Office365Concepts]

After hard match you need to initiate full sync from Azure AD Connect

[@TheBharatpremi]

Do cloud hosted user account and its counterpart (created later on) user account in AD need to have same password? What is the impact of soft and/or hard match on password at both end for the given user object? Thanks.

[@radhakrishna6232]

Please post intune interview questions and answers

[@prashanth9285-]

Excpetional

[@RabbitJnr]

Is the a way to hard match multiple accounts at the same time? i.e 100 or more?

[@Office365Concepts]

we can do this with the help of a CSV file, and a small script.

[@jayrao2783]

Can you make a video on "duplicate attribute " error issue please.

[@Office365Concepts]

Noted. Thank you for suggestion.

[@sathyashah7056]

Instead of doing hard match can we change the display name for that user in on Prem.

[@Office365Concepts]

If you do not want to do Hard Match, you can perform soft match.

[@exchange1053]

Hello Sir, Great content. I'm also planning to start KZbin channel for Microsoft Technology & I have one doubt, how to take permission from Microsoft to upload videos on their topic, as we are taking content from Microsoft articles?? Waiting for your response. Thank you.

[@Office365Concepts]

Microsoft articles are publicly available.

[@uddhapbasak1142]

If On-premise user and azure ad user is having different password for a user which will remain.

[@Office365Concepts]

This process will not affect the passwords.
