PowerShell Basics: How to Force AzureAD Connect to Sync	Anthony Bartolo (Twitter: @ WirelessLife)	In every organization, the possibility of role changes or change of contact information can occur quite frequently.

It can take up to 30 minutes for Azure Active Directory to update these changes when these changes are applied on the on-premises Active Directory instance and vice-versa via AzureAD Connect. It can also take up to an additional 30 minutes to then sync changes with Office 365. This post will detail steps to force AzureAD Connect to sync on command when required via PowerShell to combat the delay.	DevOps, PowerShell, Azure Active Directory
