Hello,

Having this weird behavior. I just created a user in Azure, with Global Administrator Rights and Source is Azure Active Directory, set a new password (Since it's a new user).

While trying to install Azure Active Directory Connect, in the "Connect to Azure AD" step, i'm getting the following error message:

The password has expired. Update your password and try again

How can the password be expired if it's a brand new user created in Azure? What am i missing?

    Is it sign-in error code 50126?

    If you just created the user it's possible that this is because it generated a temporary password that you would need to change.

    Your AAD domain may also have a password expiry policy in place, in which case you could disable this policy: Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName -PasswordNeverExpires $true
