The
default dirsync period between On-premise and Office 365 is 3 hours. This for
many people is too long, especially if you are testing.
If you
wanted to change the default sync period then firstly navigate to the Windows
Azure Active Directory Sync directory on the member server where the Directory
Sync tool is installed. Older version (i.e. pre Azure) the directory will be
called Microsoft Online Directory Sync.
In this
folder open up the file Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Scheduler.exe.config file.
Adjust
the setting <add key=”SyncTimeInterval” value=”3:0:0″ />
For
example if you wanted to bring this down to 10 minutes then change this line to
the following. <add key=”SyncTimeInterval” value=”0:10:0″ />
Close and
Save the file and then restart the Windows Azure Active Directory Sync Service
Change the Azure
Active Directory Sync Schedule
