Refresh schema, run full sync
Remove extension properties from sync
Hi,
For testing I added some directory extensions to sync with Azure AD:
After that I started to receive error messages:
Unable to update this object in Azure Active Directory, because the attribute
[extension_2241f0b77381486bb25ee28906a52afd_thumbnailPhoto], in the local Directory
exceeds the maximum allowed length. If you want to update, reduce the length in the
local directory services, and then try again
I removed those directory extensions from sync. But I still receive error messages. Powershell returns this:
How I can remove those extension properties from sync?

We need a way of removing the extension attribute. Can anyone from Microsoft suggest a way to resolve this?
