Question
You have an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain that syncs with Azure AD. You deploy an app that adds custom attributes to the domain. From Azure Cloud Shell, you discover that you cannot query the custom attributes of users. You need to ensure that the custom attributes are available in Azure AD. Which task should you perform from Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect first?
Options
- AConfigure device options
- BManage federation
- CCustomize synchronization options
- DRefresh directory schema

Why each option
To make custom attributes added to an on-premises Active Directory available in Azure AD, you must first customize the synchronization options within Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect.
Configure device options in Azure AD Connect is related to device writeback and hybrid Azure AD join, not the synchronization of user attributes.
Manage federation in Azure AD Connect relates to Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) configuration, not the direct synchronization of custom user attributes.
When custom attributes are added to the on-premises Active Directory schema, Azure AD Connect needs to be explicitly configured to include these new attributes in the synchronization process. The 'Customize synchronization options' task allows you to modify attribute flow rules and select which attributes are synchronized from on-premises AD to Azure AD, ensuring the custom attributes become available.
Refreshing the directory schema within Azure AD Connect detects schema changes, but it does not automatically configure custom attributes for synchronization without explicit customization of synchronization rules.
