    Hi @lalajee

    Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

    First, you must ensure that the user from your Azure AD has the correct password and that the user cannot have the MFA active.

    Also, I recommend you try a fresh installation of Azure AD Connect.

    Let me know how it goes...

    Hope this helps,
    Carlos Solís Salazar
