In Azure AD Connect sync, you can enable filtering at any time. As a result, Microsoft can't provide technical support for such deployments. Any of these actions might result in an inconsistent or unsupported state of Azure AD Connect sync.

Microsoft doesn't support modifying or operating Azure AD Connect sync outside of the actions that are formally documented.

This article covers how to configure the different filtering methods. But in Azure AD, you only want active accounts to be present.

For compliance reasons, you don't delete any user accounts on-premises.

You have many service accounts and other nonpersonal accounts that you don't want in Azure AD.

In the small pilot, it's not important to have a complete Global Address List to demonstrate the functionality.

You run a pilot for Azure or Microsoft 365 and you only want a subset of users in Azure AD.

In some cases however, you're required to make some changes to the default configuration. With the default configuration, they would have the same experience that they would have with an on-premises implementation of Exchange or Lync. Users using Microsoft 365 workloads, such as Exchange Online and Skype for Business, benefit from a complete Global Address List so they can send email and call everyone. In general, this is the recommended configuration. The default configuration takes all objects in all domains in the configured forests.

With all that said, this solution works if you assume that all your devices expose unique serial IDs and that nobody tries to forge a USB device to get it accepted by your computer.By using filtering, you can control which objects appear in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) from your on-premises directory. A bad guy could build a USB device with forged USB device ID and forged serial ID, in order to get it accepted by you computer, though even then. if a USB device claims to be a certain device, with a particular serial ID, there is no way for the computer to tell whether that's true.

As far as I understand, USB device IDs are not signed and thus cannot be verified - i.e.

I don't have such a model of USB mass storage device with me, so I can't really verify.

E.g if a certain vendor model of USB mass storage device doesn't expose a unique serial ID, and you have installed one, then group policy might allow any other instances of the same vendor model to be mounted. Group policy probably can't effectively block some devices that don't expose a unique serial ID.

Enable the "Prevent installation of removable devices" rule in Group Policy.

WINDOWS AD USB BLOCK RULE INSTALL

Install the USB device that I want in this case, a USB mass storage device.In Device Manger, uninstall all USB devices that I don't want, including the ones that are currently not connected - there's an environment variable called DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES that enables the display of installed, but currently disconnected devices just search the web for "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES".So here's a summary of what I ended up doing: In particular, the "Prevent installation of removable devices" rule is what I need. The general direction is documented here: Following suggestion, I got it working using group policy.
