Domain filtering​

Domain filtering is a feature in the Microsoft 365 connector that makes it possible to filter which Microsoft 365 users to import based on the domain name. A list of verified domains is fetched for the Microsoft 365 tenant, and the domains for which to import the data from can be selected. Users with a matching domain in their UserPrincipalName are imported.

Even though the user list will be filtered, the number of subscriptions cannot be filtered by the domain name. The subscription information sent to Snow License Manager will represent the state for the whole Microsoft 365 estate.

To use domain filtering:

  1. Select Domain filtering. The Filter by domains window opens.

  2. Select Enable domain filtering.

  3. Select the domains that you want to import data from. Select All selects all of the domains in the list.

    Select None clears the checkboxes.

  4. Select OK.

  5. Continue to manually aggregate the connector or schedule an aggregation.

Scheduling​

Learn how to configure a schedule for the Microsoft 365 connector.

  1. In Snow Integration Manager Properties, select Connector options.

  2. In the Active connectors list, select the Microsoft 365 connector.

  3. Select Schedule. The Schedule for Microsoft 365 connector window appears.

  4. Select Schedule aggregation at every, and then set an aggregation interval.

  5. To save the schedule and close the window, select OK.

note

The connector should be scheduled outside of the time span when the Data Update Job (DUJ) is active/running. Otherwise, performance of both the connector and the DUJ might be affected negatively.
