I’m trying to add a new staging server to our existing Azure AD Connect sync environment but hit a error during installation:

"The directory synchronization state of the directory is invalid"

Steps from my side :

  • Exported synchronization settings from the active server
  • Ran the Azure AD Connect installer on the new server
  • enable "Staging mode" and imported the settings Microsoft Entra Connect Sync version: 2.4.131.0
