Export-ADSyncToolsHybridAadJoinReport

SYNOPSIS

Generates a report of certificates stored in Active Directory Computer objects, specifically, certificates issued by the Microsoft Entra hybrid join feature.

SYNTAX

SingleObject

Export-ADSyncToolsHybridAadJoinReport [-DN] <String> [[-Filename] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

MultipleObjects

Export-ADSyncToolsHybridAadJoinReport [-OU] <String> [[-Filename] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This tool checks for all certificates present in UserCertificate property of a Computer object in AD and, for each non-expired certificate present, validates if the certificate was issued for the Microsoft Entra hybrid join feature (that is, Subject Name is CN={ObjectGUID}). Before version 1.4, Microsoft Entra Connect would synchronize to Microsoft Entra any Computer that contained at least one certificate but in Microsoft Entra Connect version 1.4 and later, ADSync engine can identify Microsoft Entra hybrid join certificates and will "cloudfilter" (exclude) the computer object from synchronizing to Microsoft Entra ID unless there's a valid Microsoft Entra hybrid join certificate present. Microsoft Entra Device objects that were already synchronized to AD but don't have a valid Microsoft Entra hybrid join certificate will be deleted from Microsoft Entra ID (CloudFiltered=TRUE) by Microsoft Entra Connect.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Export-ADSyncToolsHybridAzureADjoinCertificateReport -DN 'CN=Computer1,OU=SYNC,DC=Fabrikam,DC=com'

Remove-ADSyncToolsAadPublicFolders

SYNOPSIS

Removes synchronized Mail-Enabled Public Folders (MEPF) present from Microsoft Entra ID. You can specify one SourceAnchor/ImmutableID for the target MEPF object to delete, or provide a CSV list with a batch of objects to delete when used in conjunction with Export-ADSyncToolsAadPublicFolders. This function requires the credentials of a Global Administrator in Microsoft Entra ID and authentication with MFA isn't supported. NOTE: If DirSync has been disabled on the tenant, you'll need to temporary re-enabled DirSync in order to remove orphaned Mail Enabled Public Folders from Microsoft Entra ID.

Remove-ADSyncToolsExpiredCertificates

SYNOPSIS

Script to Remove Expired Certificates from UserCertificate Attribute

SYNTAX

Remove-ADSyncToolsExpiredCertificates [-TargetOU] <String> [[-BackupOnly] <Boolean>] [-ObjectClass] <String>
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This script takes all the objects from a target Organizational Unit in your Active Directory domain - filtered by Object Class (User/Computer) and deletes all expired certificates present in the UserCertificate attribute. By default (BackupOnly mode) it will only backup expired certificates to a file and not do any changes in AD. If you use -BackupOnly $false then any Expired Certificate present in UserCertificate attribute for these objects will be removed from Active Directory after being copied to file. Each certificate will be backed up to a separated filename: ObjectClass_ObjectGUID_CertThumprint.cer. The script will also create a log file in CSV format showing all the users with certificates that either are valid or expired including the actual action taken (Skipped/Exported/Deleted).

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Check all users in target OU - Expired Certificates will be copied to separated files and no certificates will be removed

Remove-ADSyncToolsExpiredCertificates -TargetOU "OU=Users,OU=Corp,DC=Contoso,DC=com" -ObjectClass user

EXAMPLE 2

Delete Expired Certs from all Computer objects in target OU - Expired Certificates will be copied to files and removed from AD

Get-ADSyncToolsDuplicateUsersSourceAnchor

SYNOPSIS

Gets a list of all the objects with "Source anchor has changed" error.

SYNTAX

Get-ADSyncToolsDuplicateUsersSourceAnchor [-ADConnectorName] <Object> [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

There are certain scenarios like M&A where Customers add a new forest to Microsoft Entra Connect with duplicate user objects. This causes multiple sync errors if the new connector precedence is higher for the newly joined users. This cmdlet will provide a list of all the objects with "Source anchor has changed" errors.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Get-ADSyncToolsDuplicateUsersSourceAnchor -ADConnectorName Contoso.com

PARAMETERS

-ADConnectorName

AD connector name for which user source anchors needs to be repaired

SYNTAX

et-ADSyncToolsDuplicateUsersSourceAnchor [-DuplicateUserSourceAnchorInfo] <DuplicateUserSourceAnchorInfo> [-ActiveDirectoryCredential <PSCredential>] [-OverridePrompt <Boolean>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This cmdlet takes in the list of objects from Get-ADSyncToolsDuplicateUsersSourceAnchor as pipeline input. It then fixes the sync errors by updating the msDS-ConsistencyGuid attribute with the sourceAnchor/immutableID of the original object. The cmdlet has an optional parameter - "Override prompt", which is False by default. If it is set to True, then the user won't be prompted when updating the msDS-ConsistencyGuid attribute.
