What it does
How many group batches the hybrid worker reads from Microsoft Graph at the same time during a sync pass. Allowed 1-64. Higher is faster until Graph starts throttling. It does not change who is added or removed.
When set
When set: up to this many batches run in parallel on PowerShell 7. A value of 1 reads the groups one by one.
When blank or default
When blank / at the default: 8 batches at once.
Risk and how to reverse it
Too high causes Graph throttling and more CPU and memory on the worker; throttled reads are retried one by one, so the effect is slower syncs, not wrong membership. Reversible: change the number.
Requires
Pro (On-premises Active Directory feature), a running hybrid worker on PowerShell 7. SuperAdmin to change. Works with HybridAdSyncBatchSize.
Recommended
Keep 8. Raise it only if activations of server groups reach AD too slowly and the worker logs show no throttling.
