The proposed solution of using the Synchronization Service Manager to prevent research.fabrikam.com from resyncing to Azure AD does not meet the goal. The Synchronization Service Manager is a tool used for managing and monitoring the synchronization process between on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD, but it does not provide a direct option to prevent a specific domain from syncing.

To prevent research.fabrikam.com from syncing to Azure AD, the best approach is to exclude this domain from the scope of Azure AD Connect. This can be achieved by modifying the Azure AD Connect synchronization rules to exclude the research.fabrikam.com domain.

To exclude a domain from the synchronization scope, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Azure AD Connect wizard on the server where it is installed.
  2. On the Welcome page, click Configure.
  3. On the Additional tasks page, select Customize synchronization options, and then click Next.
  4. On the Connect to your directories page, enter the credentials of an account that has permissions to manage the on-premises Active Directory, and then click Next.
  5. On the Domain and OU filtering page, select the domain you want to exclude from synchronization and click Edit.
  6. In the Edit Domain or OU dialog box, select the option to exclude the domain, and then click OK.
  7. Click Next to complete the wizard and save the changes.

After completing these steps, Azure AD Connect will no longer synchronize any objects from the research.fabrikam.com domain to Azure AD. This will prevent the domain from being resynced to Azure AD as required. Therefore, the correct answer is B (No), the proposed solution does not meet the goal.
