CtrlSync troubleshooting
Pages here are titled by symptom — what you see — rather than by cause.
Check these first
Section titled “Check these first”- Read the application status in M-Files Admin. CtrlSync reports configuration errors there directly, and a missing or wrong setting shows up as an error rather than as silence.
- Has the Entra ID client secret expired? Synchronisation stops with an authentication error and nothing warns you in advance.
- Is the connection active? A connection that is not in an active state is skipped, which looks identical to a connection that is failing.
- Is it still working through a batch? A large first synchronisation continues past the scheduled window by design.
