We use AzureAD connect to synchronize users between our on-prem AD and AzureAD. For a variety of architecture reasons, we cannot rely upon the sync process to update the user's manager attribute in AzureAD.
Is there a way to update the manager field on an AzureAD object by using powershell? When we attempt to execute either via powershell or via the AzureAD GUI, an error is thrown. We have tried disabling the manager attribute from the scope of the on-premAD to AzureAD sync.
No, if the user is synced from on-premises AD, the manager needs to be updated therein. Removing the attribute from the sync scope wont change this.
Hi @Grant-2921 ,
which error message do you get?
As far as I know it's not possible to modify a synced user account in Azure AD. You have to modify the user attributes at the source > local AD.
Please take a look here as well: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/170513/ways-to-modify-sync39d-azure-ad-user-data.html
