This topic lists the attributes that are synchronized by Azure AD Connect sync.
The attributes are grouped by the related Azure AD app.
Attributes to synchronize
A common question is what is the list of minimum attributes to synchronize. The default and recommended approach is to keep the default attributes so a full GAL (Global Address List) can be constructed in the cloud and to get all features in Microsoft 365 workloads. In some cases, there are some attributes that your organization does not want synchronized to the cloud since these attributes contain sensitive personal data, like in this example:
In this case, start with the list of attributes in this topic and identify those attributes that would contain personal data and cannot be synchronized. Then deselect those attributes during installation using Azure AD app and attribute filtering.
Warning
When deselecting attributes, you should be cautious and only deselect those attributes absolutely not possible to synchronize. Unselecting other attributes might have a negative impact on features.

3rd party applications
This group is a set of attributes used as the minimal attributes needed for a generic workload or application. It can be used for a workload not listed in another section or for a non-Microsoft app. It is explicitly used for the following:
- Yammer (only User is consumed)
- Hybrid Business-to-Business (B2B) cross-org collaboration scenarios offered by resources like SharePoint
This group is a set of attributes that can be used if the Azure AD directory is not used to support Microsoft 365, Dynamics, or Intune. It has a small set of core attributes. Note that single sign-on or provisioning to some third-party applications requires configuring synchronization of attributes in addition to the attributes described here. Application requirements are described in the SaaS app tutorial for each application.

Windows 10
A Windows 10 domain-joined computer(device) synchronizes some attributes to Azure AD. For more information on the scenarios, see Connect domain-joined devices to Azure AD for Windows 10 experiences.

Notes
- When using an Alternate ID, the on-premises attribute userPrincipalName is synchronized with the Azure AD attribute onPremisesUserPrincipalName. The Alternate ID attribute, for example mail, is synchronized with the Azure AD attribute userPrincipalName.
- Although there is no enforcement of uniqueness on the Azure AD onPremisesUserPrincipalName attribute, it is not supported to sync the same UserPrincipalName value to the Azure AD onPremisesUserPrincipalName attribute for multiple different Azure AD users.
- In the lists above, the object type User also applies to the object type iNetOrgPerson.

What is synchronizing what is the need for synchronizing? ›Synchronization is the coordination of events to operate a system in unison. For example, the conductor of an orchestra keeps the orchestra synchronized or in time. Systems that operate with all parts in synchrony are said to be synchronous or in sync—and those that are not are asynchronous.
What are the attributes of a directory? ›Directory attributes can be used to define a specific property or characteristic of a user's email address (e.g. names, titles, email addresses, and telephone numbers). When they are created, they are applied to both internal and external email domain users.

How often does Azure AD Connect sync? ›How Often? Once every 30 minutes, the Azure AD synchronization is triggered, unless it is still processing the last run. Runs generally take less than 10 minutes, but if we need to replace the tool, it can take 2-3 days to get into synchronicity.
Can I sync multiple domains to Azure AD? ›Multiple forests, multiple sync servers to one Azure AD tenant. Having more than one Azure AD Connect sync server connected to a single Azure AD tenant is not supported. The exception is the use of a staging server.
