Office 365 – Change to manually force a directory synchronization

With the latest version of the Windows Azure Directory Synchronization tool (DirSync) – version 1.0.6862.0000, available from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=278924, there has been a change in the way to manually start a directory synchronization with your Office 365 tenant.

Previously, you had to launch the DirSyncConfigShell.psc1 and then run Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync.

Now, you have to open a PowerShell command prompt and import the module (Import-Module DirSync) before running the command Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync
