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.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-sync-feature-scheduler In this article. It says word for word, "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." Keywords in this learn.microsoft article are immediately and manually.... If you want it to synchronize immediately, then you'll want to manually run a cycle.... To run a cycle manually, run the -delta command. Immediate = Manual. Manual = Delta. Therefor Immediate = Delta Full sync = Time Consuming. Time Consuming = Initial

according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-sync-feature-scheduler "Running a full sync cycle can be very time consuming" you need to use delta instead of initial

Answer should be A here. Initial initiates a full sync cycle while Delta sync's the changes made since the last sync

Running the PowerShell cmdlet Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial will trigger a full synchronization cycle between your on-premises Active Directory and Azure Active Directory. This ensures that any new user accounts or changes made on-premises, like the one you created, are replicated to Azure AD immediately. The "Initial" policy type triggers a full sync, which is appropriate in this case to ensure that the newly created user account is synchronized. The correct answer is: A. Yes

The cmdlet would sync it

Segundo o Copilot: A. Sim. Executar o cmdlet Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial no PowerShell iniciará uma sincronização imediata entre o Active Directory local e o Azure AD, replicando as informações do usuário.

Running the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial PowerShell cmdlet initiates a full synchronization cycle, replicating the new user information from the on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD immediately.

The Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial PowerShell cmdlet forces an initial synchronization between the on-premises Active Directory and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). This includes all objects, such as users, groups, and contacts. An Initial Sync is a full synchronization cycle, which pulls all changes from the on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD. Since your goal is to replicate the new user information to Azure AD immediately, running this cmdlet achieves that by initiating a sync.

it´s B Keyword is IMMEDIATELY. So we muat use: Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta cmdlet. The Delta policy is much FASTER and intended for syncing recent changes, such as a newly created USER ACCOUNT.

Only need to do a Delta sync

B is correct. initial can sync last config and is rapid

'Immediately' in this context just means you want to kick off the sync manually right that moment, rather than wait for the next automated scheduled sync. Therefore -initial or -delta are both correct but as the questions asks specifically about -initial, then the answer is A. Yes

This cmdlet can be run with two different options for the -PolicyType parameter: 1- -PolicyType Delta: This triggers a delta synchronization. A delta sync processes only the changes (additions, deletions, and updates) that have occurred since the last synchronization. This is usually the preferred option for most scenarios because it's faster and less resource-intensive. 2--PolicyType Initial: This triggers a full synchronization. A full sync processes all directory objects and attributes from scratch, regardless of whether they have changed since the last sync. This option is more comprehensive but takes longer and uses more resources. Answer B is correct

The Start-ADSyncSyncCycle cmdlet has two policy types: Delta: This policy type performs a delta (or incremental) synchronization, syncing only the changes since the last sync. Initial: This policy type performs a full synchronization, syncing all objects and attributes. To immediately replicate the new user information to Azure AD, the Delta synchronization is typically sufficient because it syncs recent changes. The correct command for this scenario should be: Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta Thus, the correct answer is: B. No The -PolicyType Initial performs a full synchronization, which is more extensive than necessary just to sync a new user account.

A. Yes Explanation: The provided solution, running the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial PowerShell cmdlet, effectively meets the goal of immediately replicating the newly created user account in your on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD. Initial Synchronization: However, for newly created or modified objects, you can trigger an immediate synchronization cycle using the Start-ADSyncSyncCycle cmdlet. The -PolicyType parameter specifies the type of synchronization cycle to initiate. In this case, -PolicyType Initial forces a full initial synchronization, meaning it prioritizes syncing any objects that haven't been synchronized yet, including the newly created user account.
