Microsoft Entra Connect is an on-premises Microsoft application that's designed to meet and accomplish your hybrid identity goals. If you're evaluating how to best meet your goals, you should also consider the cloud-managed solution

Microsoft Entra Connect features
* Password hash synchronization - A sign-in method that synchronizes a hash of a users on-premises AD password with Microsoft Entra ID.
* Pass-through authentication - A sign-in method that allows users to use the same password on-premises and in the cloud, but doesn't require the additional infrastructure of a federated environment.
* Federation integration - Federation is an optional part of Microsoft Entra Connect and can be used to configure a hybrid environment using an on-premises AD FS infrastructure. It also provides AD FS management capabilities such as certificate renewal and additional AD FS server deployments.
* Synchronization - Responsible for creating users, groups, and other objects. As well as, making sure identity information for your on-premises users and groups is matching the cloud. This synchronization also includes password hashes.
* Health Monitoring - Microsoft Entra Connect Health can provide robust monitoring and provide a central location in the Microsoft Entra admin center to view this activity.

Microsoft Entra Connect Health for Sync requires Microsoft Entra Connect Sync V2. If you are still using AADConnect V1 you must upgrade to the latest version. AADConnect V1 is retired on August 31, 2022. Microsoft Entra Connect Health for Sync will no longer work with AADConnect V1 in December 2022.

Integrating your on-premises directories with Microsoft Entra ID makes your users more productive by providing a common identity for accessing both cloud and on-premises resources. Users and organizations can take advantage of:
* Users can use a single identity to access on-premises applications and cloud services such as Microsoft 365.
* Single tool to provide an easy deployment experience for synchronization and sign-in.
* Provides the newest capabilities for your scenarios. Microsoft Entra Connect replaces older versions of identity integration tools such as DirSync and Azure AD Sync

Ive been working in and teaching IAM since 1998. This was the first time Ive heard "sucks balls" in a training vid. You crack me up. This is great.

Great job! Thanks for hosting MOAP (love the name, by the way). I found some awesome stuff there and really appreciate your time. Take care! - James

Very helpful, thank you very much for taking time to make this video.

Can you go back and add OUs later on? I want to try this out on a few users before doing the whole place. Also, does sync password hash make it so the user's PC logon password is the same as their o365 password?

Everything went well selected all the same choices, it wouldn't have let me continue if the credentials i used didn't meet the requirements etc but for some reason I keep getting an error at the end.

An error occurred executing configure AAD sync task : an error occurred while sending the request.

"Sucks balls" LMAO, true talk right there!

Great video, thanks Alex! Please do MFA enrollment/ Intune enrollment

[jasoncummings]

Thank you for your informative and well presented material.
The menu (4:10) has an option 'Import Synchronization Settings'. Is this for updating from AD Connect (WS 2012) to AD Connect v2?

[damon]

This is a great video. Thank you. Letting it sync everything does suck balls! Lol

[derekkelsheimer]

so when I go to log into the part at around 6:12 on your video I keep getting this error could you help me out? unable to validate credentials due to an unexpected error. and it goes on from there couldn't find any other way to contact you to see if you could help me out.

[ehababumoailish]

thanks for the video, do you have a video for manual sync like deltak, also if other one for seamless sign in after sync kick

Alex, de connectie is gelukt. Maar ik had al op beide plaatsen dezelfde gebruiker staan, onpremise - de gebruiker in AD, Entra- de gebruiker e-mail/teams e.d. Na dde connectie heb ik nu twee gebruikers in Entra met dezelfde naam. eentje is geconnected met de onpremise omgeving en de andere bestond al in Entra is heeft de e-mailbox e.d. Wat deed ik fout? Hoe kan ik ervoor zorgen dat beide "gebruikers" één worden. alvast bedankt. en tot 6 juni bij DSD. ps Alex, als ik via LinkedIN met jou wil communiceren heb ik Premium nodig, bij andere is dat niet. Heb jij dat zo ingesteld of zo?

[dennissalazar]

Hey Alex, do you have a video tutorial on how to Fully sync the AD On-prem to Entra ID and Migrate the GPO at On-prem AD to Entra ID? Thank you for your immediate response.

[ggoben]

Do you know if it's possible to sync your on-prem AD to 2 different tenants at the same time? We are moving our users to a different tenant and want to install Entra Sync on a different server and sync them to a new tenant while the old tenant is still syncing as well. WE will then migrate our data then turn off the old sync at a future cutover date. Do you know if we can sync to two tenants temporarily?

[livestronger]

When you connect to Entra ID using your admin account, will it lose connection if the PW is changed for the admin account? Or will the sync still function?

[fredmeesters]

Alex, ben je mij vergeten? Op de DSD dag zei je dat je mij een link zou sturen om mijn probleem op te lossen. Grtz Fred

[binarytech]

Don't you need to open some ports to make it work?
