Problem Statement

We need to be able to see which user accounts are synced via Entra ID Connect and which are located only in the cloud. As an MSP, we have to deal with a variety of configurations for different clients, so it's not always obvious which users are only in the cloud and which are Entra ID synced. The Entra ID synced users can't be fully managed through 365, so it's helpful to see that they are synced so my technicians know to go to the domain controller for certain actions (like deleting a user or editing an alias). Ideally, I would like to see this as an available column on the

In addition, being able to see other Entra ID Connect details, such as the last successful sync, current sync agent version, server name, and the service account, would also be helpful.

(I do want to acknowledge a similar request that was closed out due to the requester not being a paid user. As a paying user, I would like to request the same details and expand the request to include user sync status. The original request was #3823 on March 19th).

Benefits for MSPs

If I only dealt with one client, I would quickly memorize if they were using Entra ID Sync. As an MSP, I have to deal with hundreds of clients. Putting this information in a spot that's easy for my technicians to see allows for them to use the correct tools the first time and avoids them wasting time working through the wrong tool

It would also allow me to better report or alert on Entra ID Connect issues without having to log into each client's tenant or server.

Value or Importance

This would put sync status right in front of the technicians so they can see if the user can be edited in 365/CIPP or if they need to make changes from the domain controller. This would prevent technicians from wasting time attempting to edit a user and likely getting errors or at least failed changes.

For the server agent version, and related info, we would be able to better audit across our clients without having to log into servers or the Entra ID admin portal to see those details.

Having the last successful sync in CIPP would make it easier to create an alert to tell us if a sync hasn't occurred recently. This can be critical to catching issues in a timely manner.
