If OneDrive is not enabled within the period, defined by Time-out (minutes) setting, a timeout occurred and reported to the client.

Limit query for Office 365

 

The maximum number of users returned from Office 365 by default is 2000.

Tip: It is possible to change the default value in the Microsoft Office 365 extension settings.

Initialization Script 

 
Script  Usually, rules use query criteria to limit the query search scope. It improves the performance of the executed rule.

Due to PowerShell limitations, it is not possible to use calculated expressions in query criteria. That is the point where the initialization script can help. You can initialize a global variable in this setting and then use it in query criteria. 

Example: Update AD users, created in the last ten days.

  1. Add this initialization script:

{$global:DatePeriod = (Get-Date).AddDays(-10)}

   2. Use $DatePeriod variable in query criteria builder
