Today’s #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix is that Microsoft is retiring all V1.x versions of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect on August 31, 2022. To remain supported you must upgrade to the most recent version of Azure AD Connect V2!
Azure AD Connect was released several years ago. Since that time, several of the components that Azure AD Connect uses have been scheduled for deprecation and updated to newer versions. #Microsoft has bundled the newer components into a single release so you only have to update once. This release is Azure AD Connect V2.
If you continue with a retired version of Azure AD Connect after August 31, 2022 it might unexpectedly stop working, not have the latest security fixes, lack performance improvements and service enhancements, or if you require support #Microsoft you may be turned away!
Note: Azure AD Connect V2 requires Windows Server 2016 and above since it contains SQL Server 2019 components which are not supported on older versions of Windows Server.
Upgrading from V1.x is fully supported and for complete Azure AD Connect Upgrade V2 instructions see Azure AD Connect: Upgrade from a previous version – Microsoft Entra | Microsoft Docs
