Hi Ahmed Essam, Here are some best practices and recommended actions from microsoft documentation:
- 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)
- Get latest version of Microsoft Entra Connect (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/reference-connect-version-history).
- Export your current Azure AD Connect configuration (https://www.prajwaldesai.com/steps-to-upgrade-azure-ad-connect/)
- Choose the Upgrade Method (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-upgrade-previous-version)
-
Automatic Upgrade
: This is the easiest method for an express installation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/how-to-connect-install-automatic-upgrade) -
In-Place Upgrade
: If you have a single server, you can upgrade the installation in-place on the same server -
Swing Migration

-
- 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).
- Always require the troubleshooting guide (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/active-directory/troubleshoot-aad-connect-fails-to-install-upgraded-version).
