Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/KelvinTegelaar/CIPP/issues/289

Originally assigned to: @KelvinTegelaar on GitHub.

When applying the standard called 'Enable per-user MFA for all users' this enables MFA for the 'On-Premises Directory Synchronization Service Account'

This in turn breaks the sync as you would need to configure MFA for that account.
For said account this is a system managed account, passwords and configuration are unknown.

From a standard Azure AD subscription you are unable to exclude certain IP addresses from MFA too.

Is there a best practice around this setup which I am unaware of?

Thanks
