If you have one AADConnect server, then simply run setup for the latest 1.x version and it will upgrade in-place.

Need solid advice on how to upgrade AAD Sync from 1.4.38 to 1.6(?) on server 2008 r2?
aad sync is operational and NOT partially upgraded
autoupgrade is enabled but no option inside of app
cannot follow in-place upgrades from kb/support as they are geared for version 2 which will not run on 2008 r2

2022-06-09T16:01:30.127+00:00 I seen the release note as listed in
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/reference-connect-version-history#16113Is it as straight forward as downloading 1.6 from the link and running the installer?
Thanks in advance.

2022-06-09T16:20:06.467+00:00 UPDATE: 1.6 will not install on server 2008 r2. Thank you for your responses. I'll be searching for 1.5 versions to try.

Per the AAD Connect installation prerequisites documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-install-prerequisites#installation-prerequisites), modern versions of AAD Connect aren't supported on Windows Server 2008 or 2012/R2; the minimum OS version is 2016. This may be a good excuse to upgrade your OS and install a 2.x version.
