Hello,

Current AD connect version:
Microsoft Azure Ad Connect- 1.4.25.0 - (Windows 2012 R2 standard)
I need to migrate AD connect to another server.
Can you please provide best practices and tutorial and any advice for this migration.
Is it supported to migrate from 1.4.25.0 (9/28/2019 version) AD connect version to the newest version?
Thank you

    You should upgrade the existing current AADConnect version to the latest for your server version.
    The ability to export and import the config was added in version 1.5.42.0

    Then
    Follow this doc to export the config and import to the new server:
