Set-MsolDirSyncFeature - Invalid value for Parameter - Parameter Name: Feature

Hi!

I have a client using an Office 365 DirSync environment that is requesting the Duplicate Attribute Resiliency feature be enabled on their tenancy. Following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-aadconnectsyncservice-duplicate-attribute-resiliency - I used the following Syntax in PowerShell:

Set-MsolDirSyncFeature -Feature DuplicateUPNResiliency -Enable $true
Set-MsolDirSyncFeature -Feature DuplicateProxyAddressResiliency -Enable $true

Running either command outputs the following error message:

Set-MsolDirSyncFeature : Invalid value for parameter. Parameter Name: Feature.
At line:1 char: 1
+ Set-MsolDirSyncFeature -Feature DuplicateUPNResiliency -Enable $true
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Category Into : OperationStopped: (:) [Set-MsolDirSyncFeature],
MicrosoftOnlineException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automation.InvalidParameterException,Microsoft.Online.Administration.SetDirSyncFeature

Running Get-MsolDirSyncFeatures generates the following:

ExtensionData DirSyncFeature
------------- --------------
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject DeviceWriteback
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject DirectoryExtensions
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject DuplicateProxyAddressResili...
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject DuplicateUPNResiliency
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject EnableSoftMatchOnUpn
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject PasswordSync
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject SynchronizeUpnForManagedUsers
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject UnifiedGroupWriteback
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject UserWriteback

Running Get-MsolDirSyncFeatures -Feature DuplicateUPNResiliency generates the following:

ExtensionData DirSyncFeature Enabled
------------- -------------- -------
System.Runtime.Serialization.ExtensionDataObject DuplicateUPNResiliency False

So I honestly do not know what the problem is and why I cannot enable these features, but I admittedly do not have much experience with PowerShell Administration. Thank you for your help in advance!

My first bet would be encoding and something got passed with the command.

Did you copy and paste the commands ?

Try:

Get-MsolDirSyncFeatures -Feature DuplicateUPNResiliency | select -expa feature | % { Set-MsolDirSyncFeatures -Feature $_  -Enable $true}

Hi becraig, thank you for the reply, I copied and pasted first and then typed it out, and both generated the same error. I also tried your suggestion and it failed with:

select : Property "Feature" cannot be found.

I did not see the comments Vasil, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I guess we'll have to wait for Microsoft to address.
