    Hi Ahmed Essam, Here are some best practices and recommended actions from microsoft documentation:

    1. Ensure you know your current version of Azure AD Connect (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-dirsync-upgrade-get-started)
    2. Get latest version of Microsoft Entra Connect (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/reference-connect-version-history).
    3. Export your current Azure AD Connect configuration (https://www.prajwaldesai.com/steps-to-upgrade-azure-ad-connect/)
    4. Choose the Upgrade Method (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-upgrade-previous-version)
    5. If you plan to make frequent configuration changes, you could plan for a staging mode server (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-install-roadmap).
    6. Always require the troubleshooting guide (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/active-directory/troubleshoot-aad-connect-fails-to-install-upgraded-version).

    Let me know if this information is helpfull. Luis,
