New Version Of AADConnect

Source - https://github.com/Azure/azure-content/blob/master/articles/active-directory/active-directory-aadconnect-version-history.md

Released: 2015 November

New features:

• Can reconfigure the ADFS to Azure AD trust.
• Can refresh the Active Directory schema and regenerate Sync Rules.
• Can disable a sync rule.
• Can define "AuthoritativeNull" as a new literal in a Sync Rule.

New preview features:

• Azure AD Connect Health for sync.
• Support for Azure AD Domain Services password synchronization.

New supported scenario:

• Supports multiple on-premises Exchange organizations. See Hybrid deployments with multiple Active Directory forests for more information.

Fixed issues:

• Password synchronization issues:
  • An object moved from out-of-scope to in-scope will not have its password synchronized. This incudes both OU and attribute filtering.
  • Selecting a new OU to include in sync does not require a full password sync.
  • When a disabled user is enabled the password does not sync.
  • The password retry queue is infinite and the previous limit of 5,000 objects to be retired has been removed.
  • Improved troubleshooting.
• Not able to connect to Active Directory with Windows Server 2016 forest-functional level.
• Not able to change the group used for group filtering after initial install.
• Will no longer create a new user profile on the Azure AD Connect server for every user doing a password change with password writeback enabled.
• Not able to use Long Integer values in Sync Rules scopes.
• The checkbox "device writeback" remains disabled if there are unreachable domain controllers.
