Directory Sync Objects Count

Directory Sync Tool continually refers to sizing based on object count to sync; this number being 50K. Running IdFix the query count is 104479 which I assume is the total number of sync-able objects in our AD. Is this correct? Now, I only want to sync
certain OUs because we have many user accounts that are place holders for historical students to be able to logon to our web portal so they can retrieve transcripts. These users do not have mailboxes, would not have access to office 365, etc. So, is the object
count and sizing DirSync setup and configuration referring to only those object we wish to sync or the total in the directory?

only those objects you wish to sync

I'd also suggest asking this in the 'Directory Integration Services' forum over on the O365 forums:

Cannot install Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool on Server 2012 w/ SQL Server 2012

I went to change a user password on the server today and after changing the password I logged into the SQL server to run “Import-module dirsync” & “Start-onlinecoexistencesync” in powershell in order to sync the new password with Exchange Online. After
waiting ten minutes I tried setting up the email on the user’s PC but the new password was not being accepted. I logged into Office 365 and I got the following warning.
"Warning: Last synced more than 3 days ago | Troubleshoot"
So I pressed troubleshoot and the site installed a tool on the server to try and find out what the issue was. After the tool ran it told me that the version of dirsync.exe was out of date and that I should download the new one and install it. So I downloaded
the new dirsync.exe (version 7020 I believe) and tried installing it. I kept getting error after error, different ones to boot.
First it told me I wasn’t part of the FIMSyncAdmins group (so I added myself), then it told me that it could not connect to MIIS server, so I tried starting it and windows said that there was a problem with the sign on used by the service so I had
to reset the password for the local user named “AAD_bfd1d6f0cef7” which was being used by that service. The service started successfully and when I went to install it told me I could not and if the problem persisted I should uninstall the old version and reinstall.
Looking in the log file, before I even install the software I see the following Information...
Level: Information
Date: 2015-03-24 12:49:17 PM
Source: Directory Synchronization
Event ID: 0
Task Category: None
"The current configuration of the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool is invalid. Please reinstall the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool."
So I tried to reinstall (i even manually uninstalled the old version and removed the folder in C:\Program Files\ called "Windows Azure Active Directory Sync") and on reinstall I get as far as "Installing Components" and then after a little
while it errors out with the error "The install was unable to setup a required component. Check the event logs for more information. Please try the installation again and if the error persists, contact Technical Support. "
Looking at the log file there are a bunch of new entries, created by the installer. There's over 300 new entries and I can not post them all here due to character count restriction. you can find the log file here...
www.clarkfreightways.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/dirsync_log.txt
Can anyone tell me what is going on, I've been looking through the log files and I can see errors but I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

Greetings!
Wanted to know if you've hosted the DirSync tool (latest version) on a VM? Also, if this is deployed in a Production or Lab environment? If it's a lab setup, you may
try installing the DirSync on a new VM / Server (suspecting that it could be some machine related issues).
Here's a Support KB helping with different errors:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2684395
If its a production environment, would suggest to raise a
Technical Support Ticket for assisting further with break-fix.
Thank you,

Reinstalling AD Directory Sync

I started seeing a lot of sync errors in on my ADFS server with Directory Sync installed. At first I thought it was due to an expired password, which I reset. However, when I went to update the credentials in the Sync Tool, it was throwing errors (argument
cannot be null), and would not get past the service account credentials. I am now trying to reinstall the directory sync tool but the event logs indicate a problem installing SQL Express. Which I've in
1)Database 3 cannot be autostarted during server shutdown or startup.
2)The SQL Server Network Interface library could not deregister the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/ADFSServer.domain.com:MSONLINE ] for the SQL Server service. Error: 0x200b, state: 15. Administrator should deregister this SPN manually to avoid
client authentication errors.
3)Microsoft SQL Express install returned error code -2068119551.
4)Failed to uninstall the synchronization service. Error code:Could not find C:\Program Files\Windows Azure Active Directory Sync\Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Scheduler.exe. Please uninstall and reinstall the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool. Log off
and back in and then run the uninstallation again. If the error persists, contact Technical Support.
5)A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
Any thought on how to get this reinstalled and my sync going again?

Connector Space Object don't match Full Import Object Count

Just want to clear up something
I have an HR system that removed about a 100 users. My anchor attribute is
Employee_Person_ID (e.g. 12345). My join rule is
EmployeeID (e.g. 123456789)
So HR removed the records and if I do a Full Import I see the correct amount of objects e.g. 1000. I confirm this my doing a database query and I cannot find the delete objects. If I do a search on the connected space objects I get 1100 user
records.
Problem 1: I still see the old objects in the connected space and they still have a connector to the MV object.
Problem 2:
HR re-added them with new records. The EmployeeID stays the same (e.g. 123456789) but the Employee_Person_ID changed to (e.g. 54321).
Now I get ambiguous-import-flow-from-multiple-connectors errors caused by problem 1.

I agree with your statements and this is what I also seen on other environments.
The object must show up as connector (after an import) - Yes, there is a connector
When you run a sync, the object is removed. No, this is not happening. CS object count does not go down. No deletion shown.
When the object is removed, the link to the metaverse object is removed.
No this is not happening. Object still present in the CS and has a connector in the MV object.
The removal of the link triggers the object deletion rule on the metaverse object.
No, I cannot see this happening
Just making sure, are you saying that the "deleted object" still shows up as connector AFTER running a sync? Yes!
Summary
RecordNo
EmployeeNo Details
ABC
1234567
Original Record with a connector to the MV object. This records gets deleted and confirm with direct DB query. FIFS does
not show a object delete on the MA. CS search still shows object.
DEF 1234567
New record arrives with ambiguous-import-flow-from-multiple-connectors error. The only why I can get rid of
the error for now is to make the old record a explicit disconnector. Even after this the old record still shows up in the CS search.

Office 365 directory sync disable stuck on pending

I have a situation where I have setup directory sync with the on premise AD and Office 365. I have now tried to disable directory sync and is has been a week and it still says:
Active Directory synchronization is being deactivated. This process may take up to 72 hours to complete.
in the admin site. I also get this from the PowerShell:
PS C:\Windows\system32> (Get-MSOLCompanyInformation).DirectorySynchronizationStatus
PendingDisabled
I really need some help getting this disabled properly so I can start fresh with directory sync.

Hi,
If the output is "PendingEnabled" or "PendingDisabled" after the expected enablement time period has passed, this is a known issue with Exchange Online.
Please refer to this KB article for more details:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2654338. You might need to follow the steps listed in above article, collect the information, and then contact Support.
Also,this forum focuses on some general discussion about Microsoft Office, better to post this kind of questions in the forum of Office 365 Community where you can get more effective answers:

Hope this helps.

Windows Azure Active Directory Sync Setup

Hi,
Currently trying to install Windows Azure Active Directory Sync tool for use with Office 365.
After five attempts to install the Sync Tool, I finally had some luck, now I am configuring the Sync tool and have been given the following error "A constraint violation occurred"
In looking at the event logs this is the information I get:
System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: A constraint violation occurred. ---> System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException: A constraint violation occurred. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges() at Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Common.DirectoryServicesAdapter.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges()

Suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that you have installed Azure Active Directory Sync tool successfully, right? What configuration have you done when you got that error message?
Firstly, I recommend you to check the event logs for more detailed information about this issue.
In general, it is recommended to install the Directory Sync tool on a member server rather than a Domain Controller. If you installed Azure Active Directory Sync Tool on a Domain Controller, please uncheck “Start Configuration Wizard now”
checkbox and then log off and log in again to configure the Azure Active Directory Sync Tool Configuration Wizard. If you forget to follow the above process, the Configuration Wizard will return an error "Constraint Violation Error".
Besides, please also check the permission of the system account. You can add it into the built-in Administrators group in your on-premise domain to see if the issue persists.

Connect Active Directory Sync Error - operation-size-error

We are on Connect 9. We have our Active Directory Sync running once per day. I received a sync log error as follows:
E-Learning-All-Empl-grps
G
error
Change$Update$Group: SyncTargetException: StatusException$OperationSizeError: <status code="operation-size-error"/>
The E-Learning-All-Empl-grps is a distribution list in Active Driectory that is used to contain one of 9 sublists. Each sub-list has up to 800 names. This was to get around an earlier issue with their being a limitation when we are on Breeze that only a max of 800 names could be in any group.
What does this error mean and how can I correct this?
Dave

I tried all of this, I still can not bind my Mac 10.6.3 to Microsoft Windows 2003 R2 Active Directory, and the failure I receive that Time settings between both computers is not synced although the time is the same on both machines, and I restart the NNTP on Windows Server, and added the Active Directory IP Address on the Date & time Settings on Mac.
Any Help

Directory Sync server redundancy.

How is redundancy for the Directory Sync server accomplished?
We have a load balanced pair of ADFS servers, a load balanced pair of ADFS proxies at our primary datacenter. We have additionally deployed an individual ADFS server and proxy at an alternate datacenter. The ADFS servers are configured as a farm. So if we
need to fail over to the secondary datacenter, we just need to change DNS entries for our federation services. All this is in place and tested.
How do we accomplish something silimar for Directory Sync?

Implementing FIM is another investment in terms of licensing, I would rather go with DirSync ;)
I have heard that Microsoft is planning to get rid of DirSync in future. I think I will be good with Standalone servers for a while.

Directory sync not progressing

I'm trying to set up my directory sync in a new workspace deployment, but get stuck on the final step. Have I done something wrong, or is this expected for an AD domain with 4000+ users (even though I'm only trying to add a group with 10 people)?
We are running Workspace 2.1.0.2100 Build 2099413
What I have done:
Go to Connector Services Admin -> Directory Sync
Scheduling : Once per day 11:55 PM
Click "Edit Directory Sync Rules"
Select Users Step
DN for Users: DC=group,DC=company,DC=base
No filters
Click "Continue"
There are about 4000 users in our directory
Select Groups Step
DN for Groups: OU=Security Groups,OU=Location,DC=group,DC=company,DC=base
From the available groups I select a single group which contains my test app security group with about 10 users, it is the only group selected
Click "Continue"
Push to Workspace Step
A progress bar and the text "Calculating Sync Actions." is displayed. It has been sitting here for 8 hours so far.
When Workspace was first installed (with an invalid group in step 2), it took about 30 minutes to complete.

Can you please send us the log bundle to take a look at what might be going on here. Go to https://yourworkspacehostname:8443. This is how you can generate the log bundle. Click on "Appliance Configruator". Login using the admin password you chose. Click on "Log File Locations". Click on "Prepare log bundle" button. You can send that file to me via private message. Thanks.

Metric=Owner's Invalid Object Count

I have configured the Metric=Owner's Invalid Object Count and defined Warning & Critical Values.
I receive mails only for the SYS Owned Objects and not for other objects !!!!
Thank You

Is there no SQL Statment in the Repository to check an hole agent again ?
Example: You installed an new Application and want to check 4 Metrics (Like >>is SYS loggon or invalid objects , Tablespaces full > 95 % ) and so on..sql statement is there You can check this logon by on database
So i have to edit all Metrics checked them and edit them back ???
I think the Enterprise Manager need an Full Refresh like this one...
Or an Button to select metrics you want to check and execute them (One >>Database or select multiple)Can you explore this in detail
