New employees aren't showing up in company apps after joining
User data syncs from your local computer system to the cloud every few hours. If someone isn't showing up, the sync connection is broken. Check if the sync service is running and restart it.
Your company stores user accounts in two places: your local office computers and in the cloud (Microsoft 365). A sync service copies changes between them. When it stops working, new employees don't get created in cloud apps, even though they're in the office system.
- ✓Have your Azure admin credentials ready to log into the admin center

- ✓Know the sync server's network address or hostname if possible
