Azure AD Connect sync account MFA support
Yes, exclude it from MFA or any CA policies that require MFA. The account you use to configure AAD Connect can have MFA on, but that one is only used to create the actual sync account.

VasilMichev...Thanks. Do you know if this is documented somewhere that AAD Connect Sync account must be excluded from MFA.
Also, do you know much about ADFS https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Azure-Active-Directory/AAD-Connect-staging-mode-and-ADFS-configuration/m-p/689450#M2959

I'm not aware of any article explicitly mentioning the MFA requirement. However, this article describes how the account is provisioned and the type of credentials used: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/reference-connect-accounts-permissions#azure-ad-connector-account

Hi All,
from 1 august MFA needs to be enabled on ALL Microsoft Partner Tentants:
https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-nl/partner-center/partner-security-requirements
When I read this: We cannot use conditional access anymore:
Once these requirements are technically enforced every single authentication must have an MFA challenge. You will not be able to use any feature of conditional access to avoid authenticating using MFA when access Microsoft commercial cloud services.
How are we suppose to combine this???
