Day in brief

HR provisioning timeout guidance leads Cloud Sync and Explicit Forward Proxy updates

The most substantive addition is a new troubleshooting article for intermittent HR-to-Active Directory provisioning timeouts. Cloud Sync prerequisites now call out DNS and Active Directory site-mapping failure modes, while three Global Secure Access pages align their documented Explicit Forward Proxy route under Connect rather than Session management.

  • A new Entra ID article covers slow or intermittent provisioning from Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and API-driven HR integrations to on-premises Active Directory. It provides checks for job status, provisioning agents, matching attributes, domain controllers, DNS, connectivity, logs, and required roles.

  • The prerequisites now explain that incorrect DNS, subnet-to-site mappings, or site configuration can cause synchronization failures, performance problems, and intermittent connectivity. They direct administrators to map agent-server subnets correctly in Active Directory Sites and Services.

  • The configuration, header, and custom file-hosting instructions now direct administrators to Global Secure Access > Connect > Explicit Forward Proxy, replacing the former Session management route and, for custom hosting, the previous tab-selection procedure.

This period briefing was generated by AI from the tracked Microsoft Learn and Message Center changes.
