On Demand Migration Current - Active Directory GAL Sync Setup Quick Start Guide

Navigate to Workflows
Click the New button
Name and Describe the template, Click Next
Select the all four (4) environments (Cloud and Local environments per each hybrid tenant) created previously, Click Next
Select ONE-WAY SYNC, Click Next
The screen presented next will be a pre-configured set of workflow steps to facilitate the flow of object and attributes between your directories. (Note, additional steps will be added as part of this guide to facilitate bi-directional synchronization.)
Start at the top of the steps, 1. Read From. Click the Select button
Select all four (4) environments created previously the click OK
Move to Match Objects
1. This is the step where you will decide on how to match existing objects across your hybrid tenant directories
2. Matching is conducted by pairing sets of attributes to find corresponding objects
3. Your four (4) environments may already have some attributes that can be used to find similar objects between the different directories, or you may need to set some to ensure accurate matching
4. For the purpose of GAL Sync, it is most important that email addresses do not conflict before attempting to create new objects in either environment

Click the Select button to configure the Match Objects criteria for your source Cloud environment and target Cloud environment

Figure 1: Example Match Objects Criteria

Select your source cloud environment from the drop-down menu
Select your target cloud environment from the drop-down menu
Choose your first attribute pairings, we will use WindowsEmailAddress for our first match criteria
Choose the WindowsEmailAddress attribute for the source and target fields
To add more attribute pairs, click the Add Attribute button
Additional pairings are evaluated as “OR” conditions. After the first match is found, the additional pairings are not assessed.
In our case we are adding three (3) additional attribute pairings to our criteria
1. UserPrincipalName – UPN was added to ensure uniqueness of the local part of the address string. If creating new mail-enabled users in a destination directory it will be important to define any UPN conflicts that may exist
2. ExternalEmailAddress – This attribute was added to ensure no existing MEUs or Mail Contacts have existing objects with the same external or target address
3. WindowsEmailAddress to CustomAttribute1 – This matching pair is needed to create matching records for new objects created by Directory Sync.
Ensure Match Across all object types is checked in this case.
Check this box to ensure the workflow is evaluating conflicts regardless of the object type because in two-way GAL sync there may be instances where this condition is true, and we want to ensure you have identified these matches before deciding to create new objects or keep the matches
There is no need in this guide to Add Another Pair, click OK to close this configuration

Drag a Match Objects workflow task from the left panel to the right under the Match Object task mentioned above. Click the Select button to configure the Match Objects criteria for your target Cloud environment and source Cloud environment

Additional pairings are evaluated as “OR” conditions. After the first match is found, the additional pairings are not assessed.
In our case we are adding two (2) additional attribute pairings to our criteria
1. Mail to targetAddress – This matching pair created to ensure the system can match onto existing mail contacts in the target with targetAddress pointed to the source mail attribute.
2. Mail to extensionattribute1 – This matching pair is needed to create matching records for new objects created by Directory Sync.
