Password reset via InTunes takes up to 30 minutes

Hello,

 

How can I speed up the password reset for InTunes. It currently takes up to 30 minutes until a password change is active and the user can log in again.
According to Intunes, it takes up to 15 minutes - even that is far too long in my opinion.

There must be a way to speed this up.

 

Thanks

    Hi Buddy

     

    Yeah defo more information is required here and I'm not aware of any password reset mechanism within Intune itself.

     

    A lot of people seem to be confused with the different Microsoft portals and end up labeling them all as "Intune" or "Azure".

     

    Here's a brief summary of some of them:

     

     

    Please note that there is a lot of "overlap" between portals.

     

    To address your original question, I think you have some sort of on-premise infrastructure which is syncing your users from Active Directory (AD) to Microsoft Entra, but you'd need to confirm this.

     

    If so, you can force a Delta sync on your sync server via PowerShell by:

     

    Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta.

     

    You can also alter your sync intervals (30 mins?), all info here:

    I hope this is correct and helps.
