Hi There,
Recently we were forced to upgrade Microsoft Entra Connect 2.2.8.0 from 2.2.1.0. During the upgrade, it asked me to install .NET Frame work 4.7.x. I had done that.
Type of Installation: Express settings, later we filtered out the OU and containers.
But after the configuration, it gave an error message "Unable to configure password writeback, please consult the event log for additional information".
I'm not sure which log should be consulted. Where I can look for the logs?
Azure AD Connect Server OS: 2016
Primary Domain Controller OS: 2012 R2
The license that we have: Entra P1 & M365 E3
I have Hybrid administrator access to check this.
I found this article when I searched on the web:-
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/connect/reference-connect-tls-enforcement
Would there be any risks or impacts if I ran this script in the Azure AD Connect server?
Please assist me on how to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.

you may see the following entries in the Microsoft Entra Connect Sync logs. The logs are located in the
%appdata%\Local\AADConnectfolder. -

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'm unable to find the logs under
Checked this with other admin's app data as well.
I've checked this in Azure AD Connect Server. Would you recommend to check this in the Primary Domain Controller?

I've checked this in Entra Connect Server in my admin account appdata/local and other admins app data as well. But I couldn't find a folder "Azure AD Connect".Would you recommend checking this in Primary Domain Controller?
