On 31 August 2022, all 1.x versions of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect will be retired because they include SQL Server 2012 components that will no longer be supported. Upgrade to the most recent version of Azure AD Connect by that date. If you have a question, please post it in this thread.

    1. What TLS Version are you using on this server?
    2. Have you set it to force strong authentication in the .NET settings? https://johnlouros.com/blog/enabling-strong-cryptography-for-all-dot-net-applications

    JediMaster12-7622 - Your suggestion hit the jackpot on my issue. In my case my AD server was already enabled to run TLS 1.2 but seems like my .Net Framework 4.8 install was trying to run under TLS 1.0/1.1. Seems like the change to accept only TLS 1.2 or higher on Azure servers became active recently and caused my synchronization issue. I restarted all Azure AD Connect services and run a full synchronization with no errors. Perfect.
