Which tool should Contoso Ltd. use to identify Active Directory objects that will fail to synchronize with Azure AD due to formatting issues?

  1. Azure Advisor

  2. Microsoft Office 365 IdFix

  3. Azure AD Connect Health

  4. Password Export Server version 3.1

The correct answer is: Microsoft Office 365 IdFix

Using Microsoft Office 365 IdFix is the recommended approach for identifying Active Directory objects that may have formatting issues preventing successful synchronization with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). IdFix is specifically designed to help organizations clean up their on-premises Active Directory data before synchronization with Azure AD. It scans the directory for common formatting errors such as invalid characters, incorrect email address formats, or other compliance issues that could hinder the synchronization process. By providing information about these issues, IdFix allows administrators to rectify the problems directly in Active Directory, ensuring a smoother synchronization experience with Azure AD. The other tools listed in the options serve different purposes. Azure Advisor provides best practices and personalized recommendations related to Azure resources but does not focus on Active Directory synchronization issues. Azure AD Connect Health monitors the synchronization process and provides insights into the health of Azure AD Connect but does not actively identify formatting issues prior to synchronization. Lastly, Password Export Server is a tool used for managing password synchronization between on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD, which is unrelated to identifying objects with formatting problems.
