• If you install and unselect Start the synchronization process.. at the end of the installation wizard, re-running the installation wizard will not enable the scheduler.
• The scheduler will not work as expected on servers where the date/time format is not US-en. It will also block Get-ADSyncScheduler to return correct times.

1.1.105.0

Released: 2016 February

New features:

• Automatic upgrade feature for Express settings customers.
• Support for the global admin using MFA and PIM in the installation wizard.
  • You need to allow your proxy to also allow traffic to https://secure.aadcdn.microsoftonline-p.com if you use MFA.
  • You need to add https://secure.aadcdn.microsoftonline-p.com to your trusted sites list for MFA to properly work.
• Allow changing the user's sign-in method after initial install.
• Allow Domain and OU filtering in the installation wizard. This also allows connecting to forests where not all domains are available.
• Scheduler is built-in to the sync engine.

Features promoted from preview to GA:

• The new default sync cycle interval is 30 minutes. Used to be 3 hours for all earlier releases. Adds support to change the scheduler behavior.

Fixed issues:

• The verify DNS domains page didn't always recognize the domains.
• Prompts for domain admin credentials when configuring ADFS .
• The on-premises AD accounts are not recognized by the installation wizard if located in a domain with a different DNS tree than the root domain.

1.0.9131.0

Released: 2015 December

Fixed issues:

• Password sync might not work when you change passwords in AD DS, but works when you do set password.

1.0.9125.0

Released: 2015 November

New features:

• Can reconfigure the ADFS to Azure AD trust.

• Can disable a sync rule.
• Can define "AuthoritativeNull" as a new literal in a Sync Rule.

New preview features:

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.

1.0.8667.0

Released: 2015 August

New features:

• The Azure AD Connect installation wizard is now localized to all Windows Server languages.
• Added support for account unlock when using Azure AD password management.

Fixed issues:

• Azure AD Connect installation wizard crashes if another user continues installation rather than the person who first started the installation.
• If a previous uninstall of Azure AD Connect fails to uninstall Azure AD Connect sync cleanly, it is not possible to reinstall.
• Cannot install Azure AD Connect using Express install if the user is not in the root domain of the forest or if a non-English version of Active Directory is used.
• If the FQDN of the Active Directory user account cannot be resolved, a misleading error message “Failed to commit the schema” is shown.
• If the account used on the Active Directory Connector is changed outside the wizard, the wizard will fail on subsequent runs.
• Azure AD Connect sometimes fails to install on a domain controller.
• Cannot enable and disable “Staging mode” if extension attributes have been added.
• Password writeback fails in some configuration because of a bad password on the Active Directory Connector.
• DirSync cannot be upgraded if dn is used in attribute filtering.
• Excessive CPU usage when using password reset.

Removed preview features:

• The preview feature User writeback was temporarily removed based on feedback from our preview customers. It will be re-added later when we have addressed the provided feedback.

• The Active Directory Connector does not process deletes correctly if the recycle bin is enabled and there are multiple domains in the forest.
• The performance of import operations has been improved for the Azure Active Directory Connector.
• When a group has exceeded the membership limit (by default, the limit is set to 50k objects), the group was deleted in Azure Active Directory. The new behavior is that the group will remain, an error is thrown and no new membership changes will be exported.
• A new object cannot be provisioned if a staged delete with the same DN is already present in the connector space.
• Some objects are marked for being synchronized during a delta sync although there is no change staged on the object.
• Forcing a password sync also removes the preferred DC list.

Upgrading from AADSync 1.0 GA

If you already have Azure AD Sync installed, there is one additional step you have to take in case you have changed any of the out-of-box Synchronization Rules. After you have upgraded to the 1.0.470.1023 release, the synchronization rules you have modified are duplicated. For each modified Sync Rule do the following:

• Locate the Sync Rule you have modified and take a note of the changes.
• Delete the Sync Rule.
• Locate the new Sync Rule created by Azure AD Sync and re-apply the changes.

Permissions for the AD account

The AD account must be granted additional permissions to be able to read the password hashes from AD. The permissions to grant are named “Replicating Directory Changes” and “Replicating Directory Changes All”. Both permissions are required to be able to read the password hashes

1.0.419.0911

Released: 2014 September

Initial release of Azure AD Sync.
