Hi, could you help me with the following question...how the LFDS AD rule synchronization work when im run out of licences? for example: I have available only 3 full licenses in total and I have 2 AD groups G1 - (Jane, John) in the first rule and G2 (Carl, Jane, John, Mike) in the second rule. Wich users will get the licenses?, Jane, Jonh and Carl or Mike? Or as soon the synchronization notices the second rule have more users than the total of my licenses is not executed?

Hi Robinson,

If a sync is attempted and there are not enough licenses for all the rules, the sync will fail and no users/licenses will be synced/assigned.

Hi Chase, thanks for your answer and if the number of users in the total of rules is greater than my actual licenses but is due to there are users repeated i mean the same user is memeber of several groups wich is going to be the behaviour of the synchronization?.

If you count the users individually they are going to fit the number of licenses.

Sorry but could you help me to understand what does it mean 'the sync will fail' it will run as many rules where it can assign licenses to or it will run no rules at all?

Users that belong to several AD groups/rules will only be counted once. If the sync fails, it will not perform any action. (A sync will either sync all rules completely or it will sync nothing at all)

Chase, thanks for your answer, according to your comment if the number of users in the rules is greater than the number of licenses the sync will work because if I count them individually that number will fit perfectly in my licenses.

Is that the way the sync will work?.

Thanks for your help!

Yes that should work. For example if I have one rule that syncs User1 with a full license, and a second rule that also syncs User1 with a full license, only one full license will be needed.

If the sync fails LFDS remains in the pre-sync state.  So you won't suddenly have everyone unlicensed.

Also, the order of the sync rules is important.  If User1 is a member of two groups, one that assigns a participant license and another that assigns a full license, the rule that comes second will overwrite the first.  You probably want the full license sync rules to be last in order.
