If you are using office 365 you may be using the Azure Active Directory Sync Tool to sync up your active directory to office 365.
You are probably aware that by default DirSync runs by default every three hours. I have seen various websites showing how to change the default setting in the Config. file (Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Scheduler) to make the sync happen faster. The main reason is to sync up the changes faster. I have found that this is not necessary to sync password changes up faster as the DirSync tool will sync up the passwords within about 3 minutes in the background. It won’t sync the AD changes such as a change in name but will sync the password in the background.
The details of the sync can be found in the event viewing searching for event ID 656 which is the password sync request ID. You will see the time stamp a couple of minutes after the password is reset.
There are various IDs that you can search for regarding the sync. The list below is taken from the Microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2855271)
Cisco Security Advisories
- Cisco IP Phone TCP Packet Flood Denial of Service VulnerabilityA vulnerability in the TCP packet processing functionality of Cisco IP Phones could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the phone to stop responding to incoming calls, drop connected calls, or unexpectedly reload. The vulnerability is due to insufficient TCP ingress packet rate limiting. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a high and […]
- Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W Routers Remote Command Execution and Denial of Service VulnerabilitiesMultiple vulnerabilities in the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) service and the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W Routers could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause an affected device to restart unexpectedly. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory. Cisco has […]
- Multiple Vulnerabilities in dnsmasq DNS Forwarder Affecting Cisco Products: January 2021A set of previously unknown vulnerabilities in the DNS forwarder implementation of dnsmasq were disclosed on January 19, 2021. The vulnerabilities are collectively known as DNSpooq. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in remote code execution or denial of service (DoS), or may allow an attacker to more easily forge DNS answers that can poison […]
- Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W Routers Management Interface Stored Cross-Site Scripting VulnerabilitiesMultiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W Routers could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against a user of the interface. The vulnerabilities are due to insufficient input validation by the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending […]
