    Hello,

     

    If you are using this tool, you probably have a user that you suspect is not having their password synced to AAD - the "ad connector space object distinguished name" that the tool wants is the on-premise users "Distinguished Name."

     

    From "Active Directory Users and Groups" select the properties of the user object who is not getting their password synced to AAD.  Select the Attribute Editor Tab, and scroll down for the attribute called distinguishedName - enter the value that corresponds to this attribute into the AD Connect Password Sync diagnostic tool for "ad connector space object distinguished name."

     

    Thanks - Walter
