Azure AD Connect

Support for Azure AD Connect Version 1 is ending soon. Find out what the announcement means for your business, and what to do next.

Azure AD Connect v1 End of Support

Azure AD Connect is a tool provided by Microsoft to syncronise Windows Server Active Directory environments with Azure AD.

Microsoft have announced that Version 1 of Azure AD Connect is due to be removed from support on the 1st September 2022. All version 1 installations of Azure AD Connect will stop working 12 months from the date they are superseded by a newer version.

To ensure you are not impacted by this change, you should implement a plan to have your existing installation of Azure AD Connect upgraded to version 2 as soon as possible.

Upgrading to v2

If you run a retired version of Azure AD Connect, it might unexpectedly stop working. You also might not have the latest security fixes, performance improvements, troubleshooting and diagnostics tools, and service enhancements.

We therefore strongly recommend upgrading as soon as possible. You may choose to do so yourself internally, or you can opt to hand over responsibility to our team of experts.
