Hello,

We have Microsoft Entra cloud sync implemented in our environment. The server on which Cloud sync installed has started malfunctioning and we are planning to migrate active directory from that server to a new server by promoting the new server as domain controller. How to we migrate the Entra Cloud sync agent from the old server to new one or what will be the steps to re-configure Entra cloud sync in this scenario.
