Enabling identity synchronization in multi-forest environments

In this section, we will describe the required information for designing the synchronization in multi-forest environments with the Azure AD Connect tool. This section is divided into the following topics:

UPN suffix decisions (recap)
Supporting the separate technologies scenario
Handling a full mesh scenario with optional GAL synchronization
Providing synchronization for an account and resource forest scenario
Understanding AAD Connect Rule Precedence logic

First we will start with a short recap of UPN suffixes and how Azure AD Connect handles different UPN states and configurations.
