Azure AD Connect plays a key role in the provisioning process. If the Sync Server goes offline for any reason, changes to on-premises cannot be updated in the cloud and can result in access issues for users. Therefore, it is important to define a failover strategy that allows administrators to quickly resume synchronization after the sync server goes offline. Such strategies may fall into the following categories:

Azure AD Connect custom rules provide the ability to control the flow of attributes between on-premises objects and cloud objects. However, overusing or misusing custom rules can introduce the following risks:

-**Overcomplicated "CloudFiltering"** - While reducing the number of objects is a good practice, there is a risk of creating and overcomplicated sync scope using many sync rules. If there is complex logic to include/exclude objects beyond the OU filtering, it is recommended to deal with this logic outside of sync and label the objects with a simple "cloudFiltered" attribute that can flow with a simple Sync Rule.

If you are currently using a manual process to assign licenses and components to users, we recommend you implement group-based licensing. If your current process does not monitor licensing errors or what is Assigned versus Available, you should define improvements to the process to address licensing errors and monitor licensing assignment.
