This topic lists the attributes that are synchronized by Azure AD Connect synchronization.
The attributes are grouped by the associated Azure AD app.
Attributes for synchronization
A common question isWhat is the list of minimum attributes to sync?. The default and recommended approach is to keep the default attributes so that a full Global Address List (GAL) can be built in the cloud and all functionality is available in Microsoft 365 workloads. In some cases, there are some attributes that your company does not want to sync to the cloud because these attributes contain sensitive personal data, as in this example:
If so, start with the list of attributes in this topic and identify the attributes that would contain personally identifiable information and cannot be synchronized. Then disable these attributes during installation withAzure AD app and attribute filtering.
warning
When deselecting attributes, be careful and only deselect attributes that absolutely cannot be synchronized. Deselecting other attributes may negatively affect functionality.

Third Party Applications
This group is a set of attributes used as minimum attributes for a generic workload or application. It can be used for a workload not listed in another section or for a non-Microsoft app. It is used explicitly for the following:
- Yammer (only user consumed)
- Hybrid cross-organizational business-to-business (B2B) collaboration scenarios offered by resources such as SharePoint
This group is a set of attributes that can be used when the Azure AD directory is not used to support Microsoft 365, Dynamics, or Intune. It has a small set of core features. Note that single sign-on or provisioning for some third-party applications requires configuration of attribute synchronization in addition to the attributes described here. The application requirements are described inSaaS App Guidefor each application.

Windows 10
A Windows 10 domain-joined computer (device) synchronizes some attributes with Azure AD. For more information about the scenarios, seeJoin domain-joined devices to Azure AD for Windows 10 experiences. These attributes are always synced, and Windows 10 won't appear as an opt-out app. A Windows 10 domain-joined computer is identified by populating the userCertificate attribute.

Remarks
- When you use an alternate ID, the on-premises userPrincipalName attribute is synchronized with the Azure AD onPremisesUserPrincipalName attribute. The "Alternate ID" attribute, for example email, is synchronized with the Azure AD attribute "userPrincipalName".
- Although the uniqueness of the Azure AD onPremisesUserPrincipalName attribute is not enforced, synchronization of the same UserPrincipalName value with the Azure AD onPremisesUserPrincipalName attribute is supported for multiple different Azure AD users.
- In the lists above, the object typeuseralso applies to the object typeiNetOrgPerson.
