User records - sync extra fields with AD

Posted on by Vassil

Hello,

For our CRM implementation we would like to have extra fields synced from the Azure AD to the User records in Dynamics CRM. There is a limited list for which this is done automatically http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh670617.aspx#data_sync but we would like to extend it. The sync should be one-directional (from AD to Dynamics).

Do you have some suggestions how this can be achieved?

Regards,

Vassil

Hello Vassil,

Unfortunately you can not configure extra fields, because both are online and are managed by Microsoft.

You could use a .NET Windows service / SSIS Package

Using System.DirectoryServices you should be able to implement 'DirectorySearcher' and then you can look through the AD to grab whatever information you need from the user.

I am not sure if this will work with AzureAD or not but worth a shot!

Did something like this in the past and the service had to run as domain admin.

Thanks,

Lloyd

I am also looking to promote few extra fields from AD to my Dynamics 365, but haven't found any solution as of yet.
