This October, we’re hosting a three-part webinar series led by expert Merill Fernando for Identity and Network Access practitioners. Join us as we journey from high-level strategy to hands-on implementation, unifying identity and network access every step of the way. Each session builds on the last, helping you move from understanding why a unified approach matters to what are the foundations to get started, and finally to how to configure in practice. The goal is to equip you with actionable skills, expert insights, and resources to secure your organization in a unified, Zero Trust way.

Hello, I have the latest (for our company, present on Entra blade) version of Microsoft Entra Connect Sync: 4 days ago I noticed on Synchronization Service Manager that there is no sync of data; I have started the Microsoft Entra Connect Sync and found a big button with "Upgrade" word; I tried to execute the upgrade but when the it arrives to the Connect to Microsoft Entra ID step, I fill with my global administrator account but found a stop error: An error occured while retrieving the Active Directory schema. The error was: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure AD Sync\Bin\Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. and when I click again on Next I have the same request of global administrator user and password and the same error. Now, the library is not present but I verified, in a test tenant where I have a working Entra Connect Sync system, that the files is not present even there (and also when I start Microsoft Connect Entra Sync I haven't the upgrade button there); I also tried to repair the installation, but obviously the file is no there. What can I do? Are there other people with the same issue? Any idea is appreciated.103Views0likes2CommentsAPI-driven provisioning field mapping changes resynchronize all users and groups
We have configured API-driven provisioning for on-premises Active Directory, along with Azure AD Connect, to synchronize on-premises AD users with Azure Entra ID. As part of the provisioning setup, we have used a separate Organizational Unit (OU) in on-premises AD (designated as the default OU for new users) while configuring API-driven provisioning. We are attempting to make some changes to the API field mapping, specifically the ‘UserPrincipalName’ regular expression (custom domain) and the ‘manager’ field, and saving the configuration. Upon attempting to save, a prompt appears (as highlighted below screenshot), indicating that this action will resynchronize all users and groups. Could you please clarify: Will this resynchronization update any existing users outside the default provisioning Organizational Unit (OU)? Specifically, what does the resynchronization operation update? For instance, will it modify the 'UserPrincipalName' and 'manager' attributes for all users including old users outside of provisioning Organizational Unit (OU)?

We are planning on demoting old DC server. When doing checkups I noticed that Entra Connect keeps connecting to this specific DC we'ew planning to demote everytime it connect to Active Directory. So now I'm wondering does this need any additional configuration to keep sync working after DC Demote. I found out that there is option to "Only use preferred domain controllers" but I'm not sure if that's what I want do do. There were the red line is is the old DC to be demoted. "Only use preferred domain controllers" setting. If I enable this setting I got this kind of notice. I don't feel like this is the right way to do it so I canceled at this point.Solved114Views0likes2CommentsMy Azure login is stuck at MFA and cannot proceed
In August, I was still able to log in to Azure, and by logging in through GitHub I could bypass 2FA. But now, no matter how I try, logging in via GitHub always requires 2FA. I can’t access my Azure account anymore—nothing works. The system prompts me to use Microsoft Authenticator to confirm a two-digit code in real time. My Microsoft Authenticator on my iPhone is logged into the same Microsoft account, but I’m not receiving any verification requests for Azure login. No matter how much I refresh, nothing shows up. I’ve already updated the Microsoft Authenticator app to the latest version from the App Store. However, my personal Microsoft account works fine and can log in without any issues.101Views0likes1CommentThe salt sizes required for signing with RSAPSS do not match those used by TPM.
Good evening everyone. I'm getting this error when I try to perform the first sync on my Windows Server 2022. I'm trying to sync the entire directory to manage my employees' licenses. I already have a tenant with users who can stay there without any problems. I had already synced the tenant with my old server in the past. For business reasons, the infrastructure has changed, and so has the server. In Entra ID, I don't see any old syncs, but in Admin Center, I do. Could this be the problem? Any advice is invaluable, as I'm at my wits' end.144Views0likes2CommentsOU list incomplete in AAD connect
We're facing a strange issue while configuring EntraID Connect. At the point of selecting the OU we want to synchronize the list we see in the EntraID application is not complete in respect of what we see in ADUC. We miss an OU at first level, which by the way is ont of the OU we need to sync. Any idea ?Solved131Views0likes4CommentsUser Identities in EntraID - how to remove?
I have a user that shows up with multiple identities. No other users are like this and we believe its stopping him from logging in with his alias email address. When i run get-entrauser it returns the following under Identities: {@{signInType=federated; issuer=MicrosoftAccount; issuerAssignedId=}, @{signInType=federated; issuer=MicrosoftAccount; issuerAssignedId=}, @{signInType=userPrincipalName; issuer=OURPRIMARYDOMAIN.onmicrosoft.com; issuerAssignedId=UPN}} Every other account just has this @{signInType=userPrincipalName; issuer=OURPRIMARYDOMAIN.onmicrosoft.com; issuerAssignedId=UPN}} How would i go about removing those identies from that user? Struggling to find any info online.102Views0likes1CommentUnderstanding Sign-In logs - password hash sync from another country?
Gday Had a couple users show up today at risk - failed logins from the US, while we're in Canada. Users are not in the US, not using VPNs, logins are to Microsoft services (Office Home, One Outlook Web). The useragent is the axios client, the auth method is 'password in the cloud' - which as i understand it, means the password is being auth'd directly against Entra. However, one of them is Azure AD sync'd. The auth method on this is 'password hash sync' - as I understood it, this means the password is going to the DC first, then the resulting hash is being passed to the cloud. This is what we have on our Hybrid 1-way tenants. But I don't really understand what's going on when I see a Password Hash Sync attempt, from another country. Is that random person passing a (wrong) password to my closed-off server? Or... is it just that the hash that Entra has to authenticate with, is from the DC? Is the 'password to DC, to Cloud' the 'passthrough' auth method? Thanks234Views0likes1CommentEntra ID Connect cloud sync: User and group sync is quarantined
