To begin the migration process, enter the name or GUID of the Azure AD group you want to migrate. Once complete, press Tab or click outside the window and the utility will begin searching for the appropriate group. The window will populate all users in the group. A large group can take several minutes to finish.

- User Match – Allows you to specify a different on-premises Active Directory attribute for matching Azure AD UPN instead of the default match to userPrincipalName:
206+
- The migration utility tries direct matching to UPN before using the on-premises Active Directory attribute.
207+
- If no match is found, it calls a Windows API to find the Azure AD UPN and get the SID, which it uses to search the MFA Server user list.
208+
- If the Windows API doesn’t find the user or the SID isn’t found in the MFA Server, then it will use the configured Active Directory attribute to find the user in the on-premises Active Directory, and then use the SID to search the MFA Server user list.

- Automatic synchronization – Starts a background service that will continually monitor any authentication method changes to users in the on-premises MFA Server, and write them to Azure AD at the specified time interval defined
