## How to Sync AD Manually?

  
  
*   To initiate a Delta Sync, open Windows PowerShell and run:
  
  
Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta  
  
*   To initiate a Full Sync, open Windows PowerShell and run:
  
  
Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial  
  
Note:  
  
Full sync is the mechanism where all the data is verified from the source and updated. But with D**elta Sync** only changes are committed. Mostly in production daily we use delta because of heavy data. And full sync is proposed on weekends.
