Configure device sync with Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync (preview)
Device sync lets you synchronize computer objects from Active Directory (AD) to Microsoft Entra ID by using the AD2AADDeviceSync job in an AD to Microsoft Entra ID Cloud Sync configuration. After synchronization, the devices can become Microsoft Entra hybrid joined.
Device sync is disabled by default. Before you begin, make sure your environment meets the prerequisites. Then configure a service connection point (SCP), enable device sync, provision a device on demand, manage device sync with Microsoft Graph, and recover deleted devices.
