How to safely switch from AAD Cloud Sync to AAD Connect

[petrlenz]

Hello everyone. Can someone help me understand how to upgrade from AAD Cloud Sync to AAD Connect safely, please? Since the AAD Cloud Sync has a limited feature set, I must upgrade to the old good AAD Connect, but I cannot find any official documentation, so I have many questions like “what will happen with the existing user account in AAD after switching between two sync method?”.

Thank you!

Hello @petrlenz

From experience and as I can see in my lab, you can go ahead and install the AD connect, it can actually run along side the cloud ad connect.
