ADConnect reinstallation problem

Hi everybody.

Trying to start from scartch, I'd first disabled DirSync with 

Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirsync $False

and then uninstalled ADConnect from Add/Remove programs.

My initial setup was with Hash sync and SSO.

Now, when I try to install again, I got an error telling that it's in a pending disabling state. If I check with 

(get-msolcompanyinformation).DirectorySynchronizationEnabled

it's in a False state.

But PasswordSynchronizationEnabled is in true state.

At Azure portal, I can see that DirSync is not installed but Hash syn is still enabled, and SSO too. No other related is enabled.
Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hello,

    when synchronization is disabled, you could have to wait until 72 hours before the change is fully applied to all users, converting them in managed accounts.

    That is the reason of the "pending state".

    After finishing this step, you would be able to reconfigure the new ADConnect server.

    Bye.

    Thanks, I knew it, but the False state result of (get-msolcompanyinformation).DirectorySynchronizationEnabled, confuse me. I think it should be Pending.

    Today I manage to reinstall.

    Regards.

    HI.
    I've uninstalled last wednesday and today (more than 72 h) when reinstalling got the same error, pending disable, but

    DirectorySynchronizationEnabled : False

    LastDirSyncTime : 20/05/2020 16:43:25

    LastPasswordSyncTime : 20/05/2020 16:45:58

    PasswordSynchronizationEnabled : True

    Need to wait more?

    Ok, I was checking the wrong parameter
    (Get-MsolCompanyInformation).directorysynchronizationstatus is still in PendingDisabled status so need to wait more (than 72 hours)
