AADConnect breaks when on prem Domain Admin PW changes

Iron Contributor

Hey everyone,

 

I've had this problem the last 3 or 4 times my AD domain admin password changed - aadconnect would break until I went into the FIM client on the machine and updated it.  I don't remember this happening before?  Did something change or do I have something configured incorrectly?

 

We are currently using 1.1.654.0.

 

Thanks

Steve

What's the exact "break" though? Are you perhaps running the sync service in the context of this account?

Excellent question.  I don't remember exactly - I want to say I get sync error emails.  But I won't know for sure until May 11.

 

I just know that we start seeing symptoms that the sync is not working correctly.  Each time the PW expires, we have to follow this to resolve the problem  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-chan...

 

I will keep an eye on it come May 11 and report back.

 

Thanks

Steve
