How to Set Directory Synchronization Features with the Graph
UPN and sAMAccountName Updates and Entra ID Directory Synchronization Features
The other day, I received a note from an Office 365 for IT Pros reader to say that they’d perused the book to seek advice about how best to handle the situation when someone needs to change their name, usually because of marriage or divorce. The reader says that their usual practice is to change the user’s email address in Active Directory, but that they avoid changing the user principal name and sAMAccountName because changing “either or both of those attributes breaks their connection with Microsoft 365 services when the sync occurs.”
Microsoft documents issues that can occur when a user principal name changes, and there are quite a few forum discussions about changing attributes in Active Directory (here’s an example). We don’t cover directory synchronization in the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook. We used to, but then relegated the coverage to the companion volume, and then we dropped the companion volume because most of its material had aged significantly.
Use a Depreciated Module to Set Directory Synchronization Features
Seeing that I had no good answer for our reader, I pushed the question to Brian Desmond, who looks after the Entra ID chapter in the book. His response was “Changing the UPN or sAMAccountName [for a user account] should not break the sync process because Entra Connect uses their objectGUID in AD as the anchor. That said, you need to turn on the SynchronizeUpnForManagedUsers feature for that change to work right.”
Brian went on to reference the Set-MsolDirSyncFeature cmdlet as the way to enable the SynchronizeUpnForManagedUsers feature. The cmdlet is from the MSOL (Microsoft Online Services) module, which is depreciated and due for final retirement on March 30, 2025. The question then is how to set the feature without using a soon-to-be-removed cmdlet?
The Graph Answer for Managing Directory Synchronization Features
The answer is to use the UpdateonPremisesDirectorySynchronization Graph API to update the properties of the onPremisesDirectorySynchronizationFeature resource type, where we discover that synchronizeUpnForManagedUsersEnabled is a Boolean property.
Where there’s a Graph API, there’s a Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK cmdlet. In this case, the Update-MgDirectoryOnPremiseSynchronization cmdlet (I’ve already flagged the error in referring to “OnPremises” as “OnPremise;” and yes, these things matter).
Here’s how to update two directory synchronization feature settings with the Graph SDK cmdlet. First, find the identifier for the directory synchronization object in the tenant:
$SyncId = Get-MgDirectoryOnPremiseSynchronization | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Id
Now build a hash table for the features to enable (or disable). The keys for the hash table must match (including casing) the properties described here.
$Features = @{}
$Features.Add(“softMatchOnUpnEnabled”,$true)
$Features.Add(“synchronizeUpnForManagedUsersEnabled”,$true)
Finally, build another hash table to hold the parameters for the update cmdlet and run the cmdlet:
$Parameters = @{}
$Parameters.Add(“features”,$Features)
Update-MgDirectoryOnPremiseSynchronization -OnPremisesDirectorySynchronizationId $SyncId -BodyParameter $Parameters
To check the current state of the directory synchronization settings, run the Get-MgDirectoryOnPremiseSynchronization cmdlet:
Get-MgDirectoryOnPremiseSynchronization | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Features | fl
BlockCloudObjectTakeoverThroughHardMatchEnabled : False
BlockSoftMatchEnabled : False
BypassDirSyncOverridesEnabled : False
CloudPasswordPolicyForPasswordSyncedUsersEnabled : False
ConcurrentCredentialUpdateEnabled : False
ConcurrentOrgIdProvisioningEnabled : False
DeviceWritebackEnabled : False
DirectoryExtensionsEnabled : False
FopeConflictResolutionEnabled : False
GroupWriteBackEnabled : False
PasswordSyncEnabled : False
PasswordWritebackEnabled : False
QuarantineUponProxyAddressesConflictEnabled : False
QuarantineUponUpnConflictEnabled : False
SoftMatchOnUpnEnabled : True
SynchronizeUpnForManagedUsersEnabled : True
UnifiedGroupWritebackEnabled : False
UserForcePasswordChangeOnLogonEnabled : False
UserWritebackEnabled : False
AdditionalProperties : {}
Entra PowerShell Module’s Directory Synchronization Feature Cmdlets
And because Microsoft introduced the Entra PowerShell module in preview in June 2024 specifically to help customers migrate away from the depreciated AzureAD and MSOL modules, there’s also the Set-EntraDirSyncFeature cmdlet. Microsoft handcrafted the cmdlets in the Entra module to make them more PowerShell-like than Graph-like, so this cmdlet is the easiest one to use.
To make the change, I installed the latest version of the Entra preview module (Figure 1) from the PowerShell gallery, and then ran:
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Entra
Connect-Entra -Scopes OnPremDirectorySynchronization.ReadWrite.All
Set-EntraDirSyncFeature -Feature SynchronizeUpnForManagedUsers -Enabled:$true
The Get-EntraDirSyncFeature cmdlet reveals the current state for directory synchronization features:
Get-EntraDirSyncFeature
Enabled DirSyncFeature
——- ————–
False BlockCloudObjectTakeoverThroughHardMatch
False BlockSoftMatch
False BypassDirSyncOverrides
False CloudPasswordPolicyForPasswordSyncedUsers
False ConcurrentCredentialUpdate
False ConcurrentOrgIdProvisioning
False DeviceWriteback
False DirectoryExtensions
False FopeConflictResolution
False GroupWriteBack
False PasswordSync
False PasswordWriteback
False QuarantineUponProxyAddressesConflict
False QuarantineUponUpnConflict
True SoftMatchOnUpn
True SynchronizeUpnForManagedUsers
False UnifiedGroupWriteback
False UserForcePasswordChangeOnLogon
False UserWriteback
Each directory synchronization feature must be managed separately. You can’t enable or disable several features in one operation.
Any Lingering Synchronization Issues?
Although I discovered how to replace the old MSOL cmdlet with a new Entra cmdlet to set directory synchronization features, I still didn’t find out if people encounter synchronization issues after updating on-premises user account properties like the user principal name and sAMAccountName. If you’ve had problems that you couldn’t resolve, note them as a comment. Maybe someone else will have a solution.
Insight like this doesn’t come easily. You’ve got to know the technology and understand how to look behind the scenes. Benefit from the knowledge and experience of the Office 365 for IT Pros team by subscribing to the best eBook covering Office 365 and the wider Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Release Announcement of SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) v 10.0
We are happy to announce the release of SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) v 10.0.
Overview
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) Access, DB2, MySQL, Oracle, and SAP ASE (formerly SAP Sybase ASE) allow users to convert a database schema to a Microsoft SQL Server schema, deploy the schema, and then migrate data to the target SQL Server (see below for supported versions).
What’s new?
The latest release of SSMA enhances the assessment and conversion capabilities of the tool with a targeted set of fixes designed to improve quality and conversion metrics. This release includes the following:
Database Migration Service Integration [Oracle] [Preview]
Azure Database Migration Service now allows users to migrate databases from Oracle as the first heterogeneous source for SQL target workloads. This integration enables one-time data movement of Oracle tables to SQL tables through automated bulk copy activities.
Traditionally, Oracle databases are large, and client-side migration often resulted in scalability issues and frequent timeouts. This was a significant challenge and contributing highest number of support incidents for heterogenous migration scenario. With DMS integration, the benefits include:
Support for large database migrations
Retries to overcome transient errors
Scalability through additional Integration Runtime nodes
Free migration for customers
SKU Recommendation [ Oracle]
Users can now assess their Oracle workloads and generate suitable target SKU recommendations using performance data from the Automated Workload Repository (AWR). This feature addresses the gap in Database Migration Service for Oracle within Azure Data Studio, aligning with the retirement announcement of Database Migration Assessment for Oracle
.
Code Conversion Improvements [DB2]
Enhanced conversion of FETCH FIRST ROW ONLY syntax
Improved support for LOCATE_IN_STRING behavior
Support for range-partitioned tables in DB2-Z O/S
Better handling of the INCLUDE clause in indexes
Global Entra ID
Users can now authenticate using Entra ID at the global SSMA project level. Subsequent connections to the SQL target will also utilize Entra ID, providing:
A more secure default authentication method
Reduced reliance on SQL authentication
Elimination of multiple authentication steps during conversion and migration
Downloads
SSMA for Access
SSMA for DB2
SSMA for MySQL
SSMA for Oracle
SSMA for SAP ASE
Supported sources and target versions
Source: For the list of supported sources, please review the information on the Download Center for each of the above SQL Server Migration Assistant downloads.
Target: SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2019, Azure SQL Database, an Azure SQL Database managed instance

Is there a “Reload app” api provided by MS Teams?
Dear Sir
I’m developing Tab app with Web hosting for MS Teams application.
Our app is hosting on AWS server.
In MS Teams desktop/Web app, If I run “Reload app”, It works fine.
And there is a Reload feature in our application (not Teams Reload).
This reload feature is “window.location.reload()”, which has some problem for AWS server.
So I wonder how “Reload app” feature is worked.
Is there any API about the “Reload app” of MS Teams?
Can you advise me about this.?
Many thanks

Fedora support after 38
Hi!
Looking at the documentation at Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux – Microsoft Defender for Endpoint | Microsoft Learn, Fedora is listed as supported only up to 38. However, the repos include mdatp packages up to the newest Fedora version 41 currently. I also able to install the package and it seems to be running OK.
How should I interpret this? Is it just that Microsoft will not give any official guarantees after version 38?

Azure Monitor Alert for low disk space percent and MB
Hello,
I am trying to create a KQL query that will alert me if the diskspace percentage exceeds a percentage threshold. But I also want the alert to show how much used space and free space is left in MB. I have the below query that shows the percentage. How can I get it to show the used space and free space is left in MB? Thank you.

Microsoft at Ubuntu Summit 2024: Join us!
We are thrilled to participate in the Ubuntu Summit this year in The Hague, Netherlands, from October 25-27, 2024. The Ubuntu Summit always offers an exciting opportunity to learn, network, and contribute to the future of open source software. We look forward to connecting with you, whether you’re attending in person or virtually.
Microsoft talks at Ubuntu Summit 2024
Don’t miss the exciting Microsoft talks at the Ubuntu Summit! You’ll get an overview of the journey and future of Rust, along with valuable insights on leveraging eBPF for data collection.
Rust: Reaching for a Better Future
Eric Holk | October 26, 2024, 9:10 AM CET | KWA – Plenary room
From its very beginning, Rust has been a programming language about challenging the status quo. Rust’s design is rooted in the belief that providing programmers with better tools enables them to design software that is more secure, reliable, and efficient. This belief leads Rust to a unique mix of advanced programming language features while giving to programmer control over low level details such as data layout when needed, all while giving particular attention to the ergonomics of the language. Yet Rust is not only its technical accomplishments. Rust is just as much an experiment in open and collaborative language design, and fostering a collaborative and supportive community. The mission of Rust is ongoing and there is still much to do to build on Rust’s community and its technical contributions. This talk will provide a brief overview of the path Rust has made so far towards a better future and the work that still remains to be done.
Unlocking Systems Insights: Leveraging eBPF for Data Collection
Jose Blanquicet | October 27, 2024, 5:00 PM CET | KWA – Plenary room
eBPF enables us to extend the kernel capabilities by executing custom programs without modifying the source code or adding modules. It offers visibility into network activity, resource utilization, and more. However, eBPF adoption has faced several challenges, mainly due to the perceived complexity associated with the kernel.
Fortunately, projects like Inspektor Gadget have emerged to help with this challenge. By providing a Docker-like experience and simplifying the development, build and deployment processes, Inspektor Gadget unlocks the full potential of eBPF within Linux systems, making it easier to utilize eBPF for data collection and system insights.
In this talk, Jose will provide a high-level introduction to eBPF and showcase some of the tools available for Ubuntu that leverage it. He will then demonstrate how to build and run your own eBPF program in Ubuntu using Inspektor Gadget, and finally, illustrate how easy it is to share your work with the community.
Visit us at the Microsoft Booth
We’re excited that there will be booths at Ubuntu Summit this year! Stop by our booth to chat with fellow open source enthusiasts at Microsoft and explore the latest open source technologies.
See you at Ubuntu Summit 2024!

Shame on you Microsoft and Microsoft Employees who manage the Microsoft Partner Portal
almost 2 months ago we have posted a bunch of bugs in the Microsoft Partner Portal, Microsoft’s idiotic policy to write one message per day costs us a lot time to follow up with all that nonsense.
So now we did not reply for 3 days and the ticket was closed. Yes Microsoft there are people out there who have to work for their income and don’t just steal the money from people by telling them to buy an ev-certificate which doesn’t even work with your portal.
You have open issues and do not resolve them – your employees know that and what do they do? Close the problems as if they have never existed. Nothing is resolved but it seems to be good enough for Microsoft’s Employees in charge and their Managers.
Shame on you low skilled Microsoft Employees who are involved with this Microsoft Partner Portal!

COUNTIFS Automatically pick up cell
I have built a worksheet using countifs to counts the number of transits ships make in and out of the port with 3 criteria. As we are monitoring across a 12 month period for compliance the workbook is working well.
One of the criteria is counting the Captain’s name (1 of 41 names). Is there a way to automate the formula to pick up the name rather than typing it 96 times for each person.
This is the COUNTIFS formula – The Name in this case is Starkey =COUNTIFS(June!$C$2:$C$638,”Night”,June!$F$2:$F$638,”Starkey”,June!$K$2:$K$638,”Inbound”,June!$M$2:$M$638,”Tory”)
