Hello,

Has anybody been able to utilize Powershell and/or Microsoft School Data Sync to automate Roster syncs pulling user information from Blackbaud in to Azure Active Directory or O365 Admin Center? And if so, would you be able to share any documentation you can on how you configured this?

    @Alex Basiliere That hasn't been possible other than to use OneRoster exports and manually convert and upload the CSVs. They reportedly just finished the OAuth 2.0 connection to be compliant with SDS, but who know's how long before before they certify with Microsoft to make it actually work. Have a look here:

    I have been using SDS for 3-4 years now. I did it before there was OneRoster export. You can craft the CSV files and bring them into SDS. You can have SDS create accounts in M365 if you want as well. If you contact the Microsoft SDS team they will jump on a call with you to help you set it up.
