Dynamic endpoint groups using OUs stored in Azure AD

ocardiel — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 12:40:56 GMT

Hi all,

My question is if there is any way to synchronize the OUs stored in an Azure AD into the cortex XDR pro to then create dynamic Endpoint Groups using that OUs. The synchronization between Cortex and Azure is successfull but I can't see any OU. Is because I'm not using an on premise AD? Or maybe because has an incompatibility with Azure? In the official paloalto documentation it is not explicitly specified that OUs can be used to define an Endpoint Group.

Thanks in advance

Hi @ocardiel Are you able to view the Active Directory field populated in the Endpoints Administration table? I don't have an Azure AD setup, but I am able to do so for "on-prem" AD's.

Here's my view when I try to create a Dynamic group for domain-joined endpoints. You should be able to filter via groups or OU's while creating your Dynamic group.

The computers OU info won't be available in Azure AD as I know. It will only have security groups data.If you do on-prem AD integration then it will have that info
