Troubleshooting case study
Hybrid identity: provisioning scope and timing
Provisioning logs, source-anchor correlation, OU scope, and agent traces were inspected before resets. The retained implementation distinguishes the 20-minute user/group interval from the separate Password Hash Sync process.
Environment
Retained project architecture: DC01 supplies AD DS; SYNC01 hosts the provisioning agent. The tested dedicated OU limits synchronization to selected users and groups.
Diagnostic process, findings & corrective action
Provisioning logs, source-anchor correlation, OU scope, and agent traces were inspected before resets. The retained implementation distinguishes the 20-minute user/group interval from the separate Password Hash Sync process.
Validation & outcome
User and group synchronization, Password Hash Sync, source authority, provisioning logs, and agent health are documented as validated.
Lessons & limitations
Personal hybrid-identity lab. On-premises AD remains the source of authority for the tested synchronized objects. Scope is intentionally limited to the documented Cloud Sync OU.
The evidence supports the specific scenario. Unestablished root causes are not presented as confirmed.
