What is connectivity information?

Question

I am trying to do a swing upgrade of Azure AD Connect. Simply because I can't do an in place upgrade.

The one who previously configured the Azure AD Connect has left and there wasn't any documentation.

I used the Azure AD Connect Configuration Documenter tool to analyze the existing configuration.

What is "Connectivity Information"?
It shows a Username and Password.

Is this the Global Admin username? I don't quite recognize it. If this account is not present when I configure the new Azure AD Connect, will it be an issue?

Answer 1

@Lim Chong Sun In the connectivity part, you need to enter the creds for a Global administrator and it can be different than the last one used for the setup.
You will also need a AD DS Enterprise admin account. Again this can be different from the last setup.
