In 2013, Exchange Server MVP Mike Crowley wrote a script which would interactively report on the Office 365 Directory Synchronization tool. In 2014, Mike and I worked to update the script so that an HTML report would be generated. This would allow you to schedule the script and have the output emailed to you without the need to run the script interactively.

Before you can actually run the script, you will have to install SQL PowerShell on the AADSync machine first. DirSync had this installed by default, but it seems that AADSync does not. To install the SQL PS module, you must install the following components separately:

Microsoft® System CLR Types for Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Shared Management Objects *Microsoft® Windows PowerShell Extensions for Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012

The binaries can be installed from the installation instructions on the following page: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29065

Once you have installed the components, run the following command from the AADSync server and verify that the SQLPS module is listed:

Get-Module -ListAvailable

Once you have verified the SQLPS module is installed and available, you can run the script.

This time around I have decided to publish the script through Github. You can download it from HERE. Alternatively, the script also available from the Technet Script Gallery, HERE.

Please use the script for what it’s worth, and always test in a lab first. Comments/feedback and feature requests are always welcome!
