It is not going to work if you install just the components that are being retired, as version 1.x will still use the out-of-date versions already installed. Version 2.x updates all the components that are going out of support at the end of August 2022 and the single installer for version 2.x updates all this software for you or if you are running the installation on a new server, then it will install the correct components for you. At the time of writing this blog article (September 2021), the latest version of Azure AD Connect is 2.0.10.0, but we will refer to this version as 2.x in this article, because when you do your own upgrade, you would be upgrading to the latest available at that time and not the version that was released when I happened to write this article! Version 2.0.3.0, the first 2.x version, was released in July 2021 and there have been three updates to this since then. ![]() Upgrading the version is the responsibility of the Global Administrator and the server administrator on which the application is installed. So, it is time to move to the newly released 2.x version. ![]() Therefore, although versions 1.x may continue to sync to Azure AD after the end of August 2022 they will not get security updates, may unexpectedly stop working and will not get product improvement and service enhancements – that is, there will be no more 1.x versions to upgrade to. As you can see this is considerably before the more generous retirement dates that had previously been posted. Time has caught up with Microsoft as a few of the required components of Azure AD Connect 1.x will go out of support next year and so Microsoft will retire all 1.x versions on 31st August, 2022. The Azure AD Connect application has had several versions since its release and over time Microsoft has posted notices that they would retire earlier versions – for example Microsoft announced in 2018 that they would retire versions 1.1.751 and earlier on 1st April, 2024. Of these products, it is the most used one and although it has some customization it also is very automated and easy to use in its set up and operations. ![]() ![]() Azure AD Connect is one of Microsoft’s products for syncing your Active Directory users, groups, and devices to Azure AD.
