Having multiple Azure AD Connect sync servers connected to the same Azure AD tenant is not supported, except for a [staging server](#staging-server). It's unsupported even if these servers are configured to synchronize with a mutually exclusive set of objects. You might have considered this topology if you can't reach all domains in the forest from a single server, or if you want to distribute load across several servers.

* AADConnect can synchronize the same users, groups, and contacts from a single Active Directory to multiple Azure AD tenants. These tenants can be in different Azure environments, such as the Azure China environment or the Azure Government environment, but they could also be in the same Azure environment, such as two tenants that are both in Azure Commercial.

* The same Source Anchor can be used for a single object in separate tenants (but not for multiple objects in the same tenant). (The verified domain can't be the same in two tenants. More details are needed to enable the same object to have two UPNs.)

* You will need to deploy an AADConnect server for every Azure AD tenant you want to synchronize to - one AADConnect server cannot synchronize to more than one Azure AD tenant.
148148
* It is supported to have different sync scopes and different sync rules for different tenants.
149149
* Only one Azure AD tenant sync can be configured to write back to Active Directory for the same object. This includes device and group writeback as well as Hybrid Exchange configurations – these features can only be configured in one tenant. The only exception here is Password Writeback – see below.
