Identifying Active Directory Objects for Synchronization with Azure AD
Question
A company named Contoso Ltd., has a single-domain Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
Contoso is preparing to migrate all workloads to Azure. Contoso wants users to use single sign-on (SSO) when they access cloud-based services that integrate with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
You need to identify any objects in Active Directory that will fail to synchronize to Azure AD due to formatting issues. The solution must minimize costs.
What should you include in the solution?

A. B. C. D.B
To ensure that all objects in Active Directory synchronize to Azure AD without any formatting issues, Contoso Ltd. needs to perform a pre-migration analysis. This analysis will help identify any objects that might fail to synchronize due to formatting issues.
Out of the options given, Microsoft Office 365 IdFix (Option B) is the most appropriate solution for this scenario. Microsoft Office 365 IdFix is a tool that helps identify and fix errors in the user attributes of an on-premises Active Directory environment that can prevent directory synchronization with Azure AD.
Using IdFix, Contoso Ltd. can scan their Active Directory forest and identify any formatting issues that might prevent the synchronization of objects to Azure AD. Once the issues are identified, Contoso can then use IdFix to resolve the errors, ensuring that all objects synchronize to Azure AD.
Option A (Azure Advisor) is a service that helps optimize Azure resources and reduce costs, but it is not designed to address issues related to Active Directory synchronization.
Option C (Azure AD Connect Health) is a service that helps monitor and troubleshoot Azure AD Connect issues. While it can help diagnose synchronization issues, it does not specifically address formatting issues.
Option D (Password Export Server version 3.1 (PES v3.1) in Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT)) is a tool used for migrating passwords during a migration from one Active Directory environment to another. It does not address formatting issues related to Active Directory synchronization with Azure AD.
Therefore, the correct answer is B - Microsoft Office 365 IdFix.
