Troubleshoot AWS Managed Directory Synchronization with Microsoft Entra ID
Question details
Users are not being exported from Microsoft Entra ID to an AWS managed directory, even though Entra Connect Sync reports no top-level synchronization errors.
- Product
- Microsoft Entra ID / AWS Managed Directory
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Administrators are attempting to synchronize directory user accounts from Microsoft Entra ID into an AWS managed environment but the accounts are not appearing.
- Observed behavior
- The synchronization tool reports success with no errors, but users fail to export, often hiding deeper management agent export errors such as error 6100.
Ensure you have full administrative access to your Microsoft Entra ID portal and AWS Management Console, and keep your Entra Connect Sync logs accessible for detailed review.
Investigate Management Agent Logs and Consult Microsoft Q&A Specialists
Since this is a highly specialized hybrid directory integration issue, you will need to identify the hidden export error (such as 6100) and consult the Microsoft Exchange Hybrid Management team for resolution.
When Entra Connect Sync reports no general synchronization errors but users still fail to export to AWS, the issue usually lies in the specific management agent export phase. This can be caused by attribute conflicts, missing permissions, or connector configuration discrepancies.
Open the Synchronization Service Manager on your Entra Connect server and check the operations tab for the specific export step to the AWS directory. Look for 'export error 6100' or other permission warnings.
Go to the Microsoft Q&A platform online and search for the Microsoft Exchange Hybrid Management tag.
Post your question detailing the lack of exported users, providing your connector configuration, error codes found in the management agent logs, and the AWS integration setup. A Microsoft specialist team will guide you through resolving the complex attribute or permission conflicts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does management agent export error 6100 mean in Microsoft Entra Connect?
Error 6100 generally indicates a failure during the export phase from the connector space to the target directory. It is often caused by insufficient permissions, attribute flow conflicts, or misconfigured connector settings.
Why does Entra Connect Sync report no errors when accounts aren't exporting?
The top-level synchronization dashboard usually confirms if the sync cycle ran successfully from the source directory. However, specific provisioning failures to third-party endpoints like an AWS managed directory may only be recorded in the detailed Management Agent export logs.
Can I use WPS Office if my organization uses an AWS managed directory?
Yes. WPS Office is a locally installed productivity suite that does not rely on your underlying directory synchronization. You can edit and save documents locally or to any network drive regardless of your directory infrastructure.
