3 million user on Local AD to be synchronized with Office 365 FID issue
Hello everyone,
I have a customer (University) Who has an issue with DirSync. They have 3 million users on Local AD they want to synchronize with Office 365 to enable these users for Exchange online.
Now they have users "Students" enabled for Exchange online and management and staff are enabled on the On-premises Exchange servers.
Dirsync during the day synchronize 2 times fine without any error and again 2 times doesn't synchronize and gives error with no details. the error is "Stopped Extension-dll exception"
More errors shown as below
Directory Synchronization:
An unknown error occurred with the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant. Contact Technical Support. SetCredential() failed. Contact Technical Support. (0x8009000B)
I am attaching other errors as well
Customer have tried to involve Microsoft with them through a third party technical support company but microsoft was not able to apply anything since they have tried to apply some scripts but those scripts would take 3 days without finishing.
The first time the Dirsync was applied it took 1 week without finishing until now they were not able to apply a full import and export sync.
What have really got me interested is that Microsoft did not suggest to the customer to upgrade his FIM (ForeFront Identity Manager)'s old version to the latest one.
Customer is using Full SQL deployment on a dedicated server and DirSync (FID) on a separate server too. The deployed servers are virtual and have 32 GB ram and 200 GB HDD size and 4 cores.
I have recommended to this customer that we do not touch this current deployment since Microsoft themselves couldn't do anything in regard, but what we could do is take a virtual snapshot and then apply the upgrade and see if this resolves the issue or not?
Note:
Microsoft talked to them about a limited number of synchronized items to their Azure site per week! I am not sure about this but what the customer said is that they change approximately about 25,000 user object per day.
Could this issue happens because of this limit?
Thanks

They basically have no direct connection with Microsoft, they hired a firm which applied the installation and configuration along with Microsoft's help. but in the last 2 years (Project was started right after the Office 365 hybrid integration came out) and until this moment they still have cases open with Microsoft that haven't been closed yet.
They have asked us (different technical company) to involve directly with them (the university) and see if we can get our hands on it and fix it. When I checked their Dirsync and SQL servers! they seem to be used old version of Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 (build 4.1.3456.0)
I am not sure if this includes SP1 in it but when I checked the (About) it didn't show anywhere if SP1 is installed or not but the version seems to be not that old but not the latest.
I've seen there's a hotfix which fixes some issues and suggested that we install it but they were terrified to do anything so I suggested that we take a snapshot of the machines and try upgrading FFIM to the latest version and install all hotfixes included and see if that works.
The worse possibility would be to Deactivate DirSync, then restore the old snapshots and reactive it which might take a day or two.
