## Sync with existing users in Azure AD

When you install Azure AD Connect and you start synchronizing, the Azure AD sync service (in Azure AD) does a check on every new object and tries to find an existing object to match. There are three attributes used for this process: **userPrincipalName**, **proxyAddresses**, and **sourceAnchor**/**immutableID**. A match on **userPrincipalName** and **proxyAddresses** is known as a **soft match**. A match on **sourceAnchor** is known as **hard match**. For the **proxyAddresses** attribute only the value with **SMTP:**, that is the primary email address, is used for the evaluation.

The match is only evaluated for new objects coming from Connect. If you change an existing object so it is matching any of these attributes, then you see an error instead.
