- Hi again,
It's not about the dc's, it's about the aad connect server. Dc's will write what aad connect tells them.
In this config you have to make sure that aad connect isn't a single point of failure and keep it updated.
So it will run like it should as long as aad connect is working.
Hope this answer to your question.
Hi HarriJaakkonen,
Yes, it's based of the new Azure AD Connect.
New version of ad connect requires 2016(because it uses newer sql 2019).
However, if using the newer ad connect which is what I think the article is based off on, it says says that password write back requires 2016 DCs.
So, if i have an environment of DC running on server 2012 r2 and 2016, then password write back won't work, or it will still work ?
AD connect will be installed on a 2019 domain member server.
Thanks !

- I was confused by the part that says DC needs to be on 2016 server, but glad to hear it doesn't affect anything.
Staged mode looks to be the "redundancy" mode.
Thank you.
