Activate directory synchronization

You must activate directory synchronization before you install the Katalogsynkroniseringsverktyg. When you activate directory synchronization, you are turning on this feature across your tenant and all the Microsoft cloud services that you are subscribed to. For more information about how activation in Windows Azure AD works, see Katalogsynkronisering och behörighetskälla.

Before you activate directory synchronization, run the Microsoft Deployment Readiness Tool. This tool inspects your Active Directory environment, and then provides a report that includes a prerequisite check and an attribute assessment that are specific to the Katalogsynkroniseringsverktyg requirements.

If your environment doesn’t meet these requirements, the tool lists the changes you have to make before you can begin directory synchronization. It’s much easier to make directory changes before you activate and install the Katalogsynkroniseringsverktyg than to troubleshoot configuration errors after you have activated directory synchronization.

An important statistic to consider in the report that is created by the Deployment Readiness tool is the estimated total number of objects. This number is listed under Statistic in the Deployment Readiness tool. You must follow the recommendations made by the tool if you exceed the default total number of objects that the directory synchronization installation allows.

If the total number of objects in your on-premises domain exceeds 50,000, you will need to contact Support before you activate directory synchronization. If your object count exceeds 50,000 and you don’t contact Support to increase your licensing count, directory synchronization will not complete.

Följande steg kan utföras på Office 365-kontoportalen, Windows Intune-kontoportalen eller Windows Azure AD-portalen, beroende på vilka tjänster din organisation prenumererar på. Portalerna fungerar som klientgränssnitt som hämtar katalogdata som är kopplade till organisationens Windows Azure AD-klient. Om du vill ha mer information om hur du använder portaler för att hantera klienten, se Administrera Windows Azure AD-klientorganisationen.

To activate directory synchronization, use the following steps:

1. Install and run the Microsoft Deployment Readiness Tool.

2. Depending on which portal you are using, do one of the following:

   1. If you are using Office 365 or another account portal, click Users, click Set up next to Active Directory synchronization, and then proceed to the next step.

   2. If you are using the Windows Azure Management Portal, click Active Directory, click on your directory showing on the Enterprise Directory page, click Directory Integration, and then proceed to the next step.

   3. If you are using the Windows Azure AD Preview Portal, in the left pane, click Integration, click Deploy directory sync, and then proceed to the next step.

3. Click Activate.

   Varning
   If you are reactivating directory synchronization after it was previously deactivated, there is a potential to overwrite cloud directory object data. In this case, we recommend that you first review the topic Katalogsynkronisering och behörighetskälla to understand the variables and consequences of reactivating directory synchronization in your environment.

Next step: Install the Directory Sync tool

After you have activated directory synchronization, you are ready to Set up your directory sync computer.
