Our relationship to the Microsoft Partner Network allows us to provide competitive pricing and authentic software and support, all with a much-needed human element. On Windows, open Credential Manager, pick Windows Credentials, and remove anything related to Office 365 or Microsoft 365. For managed environments, we use Intune or Group Policy to force sign-in credential sync and clear old tokens.

Bad settings in Azure AD Connect cause lots of password sync failures.Users can also convert OST files into various file formats, including PST, HTML, EML, MSG, vCard, etc.We show users how to reset passwords using approved methods like the Microsoft 365 portal or self-service password reset (SSPR).If someone changes their password only in the cloud or just on a local system, things can get out of sync pretty quickly.We check that the Work or School Account in Windows Settings is active and linked to the right domain.Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.We go above and beyond the average software reseller because we built our business on trust.

Troubleshooting Microsoft 365 sync issues

This pops up a lot after admins reset a password in the Microsoft 365 admin center. That changes the password in Microsoft Entra ID, but not right away in your local Active Directory. You end up with mismatched passwords between the cloud and your local network. If you don't wish an inactive user to be made active by the M365 sync, you can add the user's email address to the sync forbid list. You can do this in the Microsoft 365 Sync Wizard on the configuration page of your platform settings. Knowing the reasons behind the Outlook sync issues will help us to fix this problem and prevent issues in communication and workflow.

Common Reasons Behind Outlook Sync Issues

If the old password still works, the reset probably hasn’t synced. To resolve these issues you should run the steps in this article and check [Outlook OST vs PST repair](https://visualchemy.gallery/forum/profile.php?id=5124679) whether the groups in your sync's filtering preference contain users in Azure AD. The simplest way to resolve authentication issues is to rerun the authentication process by clicking the Sign in with Microsoft on the Microsoft 365 settings page.

Keeping things updated helps avoid compatibility issues between on-premises Active Directory and Microsoft 365. If problems stick around, we rejoin the devices to Microsoft 365 services. Start by disconnecting the device from Work or School Account settings, then reconnect with the user’s updated password.

The Summary sheet on the spreadsheet attachment of your sync summary includes an Updated User Count and User Limit. These figures will give you an impression of how far over the limit the account is. Sync failure alerts do not always include a full summary or attachment, you can run a test sync to obtain this data. With directory synchronization, you can continue to manage users and groups on-premises and synchronize additions, deletions, and changes to the cloud. But setup is a little complicated and it can sometimes be difficult to identify the source of problems. We have resources to help you identify potential issues and fix them.

We also scan Event Viewer logs under Applications and Services [Exchange connectivity diagnostic](https://gitlab.innive.com/cgmconsuelo509/4603troubleshoot-outlook-synchronizing-folders-error/-/issues/4) Logs → Directory Synchronization for Event IDs like 650–657 (for sync activity). Errors like Event ID 611 point to invalid replication data or outdated software. The error message in the Summary sheet of the Sync Summary spreadsheet attachment can also highlight the reason for this.

On the sync server, we open the Synchronization Service Manager and check that the last sync finished without errors. Azure AD Connect handles password sync, but it runs on a schedule—usually every 30 minutes. So, if you just changed your password, there might be a short window where your old password still works and the new one hasn’t reached every system.

The sync will fail if it can't find any users that comply with your filtering preferences or the system's requirements for user records. The system requires that users have a first name, last name and a valid email address that conforms with your domain lock if enabled. Microsoft 365 is a robust platform, but when problems arise, fast resolution is key to productivity. From sync errors to sign-in challenges and collaboration setbacks, these common Office 365 troubleshooting techniques can restore service quickly. After performing these steps, Outlook’s all folders will be synced to the server.

Devices sometimes keep using cached passwords even after a successful sync. If users access multiple apps with the same login, we make sure Single Sign-On (SSO) settings line up so the new password works everywhere in Microsoft 365. We look at audit logs in the Microsoft 365 admin center to see when and where the password changed. That tells us if the new credentials made it to the cloud directory. We tell users to sign out completely and remove stored credentials from Windows Credential Manager or their device’s keychain.

Keeping Azure AD Connect up to [FixTechGuide Windows update Outlook fix](https://gitlab.innive.com/glorial0534254/fix-outlook-not-opening-after-windows-update8276/-/issues/4) date and testing sync regularly helps password resets flow like they’re supposed to. Password sync usually fails when credentials don’t update between Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and your on-premises Active Directory. Most of the time, the problem comes from timing delays, configuration mistakes, or cached credentials on devices that don’t pick up new passwords. Outdated credentials get stuck on devices, password sync gets turned off, or Microsoft Entra Connect just doesn’t update like it should. Here’s a step-by-step approach to help you spot the issue, fix it, and avoid these sync delays down the road.
