A AD Sync default scheduled job

Question

Hi all
Can someone give me some guidance in recreating the default dirsync/A AAD sync scheduled task as mine was accidently deleted :(
I've been trying to find some guidance on the net but my Google Feng-Shui must be off today.
Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

Meh, just create it manually then. Basically, a task that runs every 3h, uses credentials for either the AAD_2347blabla account or any other user that is added to the relevant AAD admin groups, and starts the process "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure
AD Sync\Bin\DirectorySyncClientCmd.exe"
Here's an example XML of an exported task:
