Microsoft Entra Hybrid Identity & Cloud Sync

Practical administration. Documented results. Original technical evidence.

Objective and implementation

Connect a dedicated on-premises AD organizational unit to Microsoft Entra through Cloud Sync. Technologies: AD DS, Entra ID, Cloud Sync, and hybrid identity.

The retained lifecycle record documents a scoped test user, synchronized Department value, a security group and member, and matching calculated source anchor and Entra immutable ID. It also records authentication after an on-premises password change.

Troubleshooting and interpretation

The record contains agent health, outbound TCP 443, provisioning logs, and a final failure review. Those checks help separate connectivity, scope, and object-correlation issues. Its final paragraph retains an older IN PROGRESS presentation statement, while the registry reports COMPLETE. Both source statements remain unchanged.

Scope and 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.

Registry status retained in the audit: COMPLETE . Evidence below is assessed by artifact type; this package does not rerun the lab.

Evidence 2

The retained test record reports a successful Entra sign-in after an on-premises password change.
