Because of this change, any objects in Azure AD that were previously synchronized but were then filtered are deleted in Azure AD.īefore you start making changes to filtering, make sure that you disable the built-in scheduler so you don't accidentally export changes that you haven't yet verified to be correct.īecause filtering can remove many objects at the same time, you want to make sure that your new filters are correct before you start exporting any changes to Azure AD. If you start with a default configuration of directory synchronization and then configure filtering, the objects that are filtered out are no longer synchronized to Azure AD. In Azure AD Connect sync, you can enable filtering at any time. As a result, Microsoft can't provide technical support for such deployments. Any of these actions might result in an inconsistent or unsupported state of Azure AD Connect sync. Microsoft doesn't support modifying or operating Azure AD Connect sync outside of the actions that are formally documented.

This article covers how to configure the different filtering methods. But in Azure AD, you only want active accounts to be present.
