Identity assessment
Inventory AD accounts, UPN suffixes, primary SMTP/proxyAddresses and privileged cloud roles.
Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID architecture, Cloud Sync scoping, UPN alignment, duplicate prevention and safe handling of existing cloud accounts.
Incorrect synchronization can create duplicate users, sign-in disruption or unintended changes to existing accounts. We start by understanding user identities and the services they access.
We compare Entra Connect and Cloud Sync against feature requirements and device scenarios rather than treating them as interchangeable.
An integrated approach connecting technology to your real needs.
Inventory AD accounts, UPN suffixes, primary SMTP/proxyAddresses and privileged cloud roles.
Review scoping, source anchors, matching conflicts and controlled pilot synchronization.
MFA, Conditional Access, role boundaries and account lifecycle processes.
Provisioning logs, error handling, change procedures and documentation.
Three priorities guiding every engagement.
Lower risk of duplicate identities
Clear ownership of account lifecycle
Better control of access to business systems
Validate primary SMTP, UPN, alternative domains and pre-existing cloud accounts. These details shape matching behavior.
Administrative users require special review. Hard matching is not a generic fix for synchronization errors.
Review provisioning logs, failed objects and attribute updates before widening scope.
When its supported feature set meets the requirements and a lightweight agent-based cloud-managed service is appropriate. Always confirm the Microsoft feature comparison.
Conflicting anchors, prior mappings and protections on privileged accounts may be involved. Investigate the actual error before changing attributes or roles.
