Reset password for AADC services account

Question

Hi,

I have 3 AADC servers, both of them using the auto generate account for the sync services and the AADC connector during install the AADC.

As the account and it's password is auto generated when setup AADC server, can I reset the account password?
Can I remove 2 of them and all 3 servers use the same account?

Thanks

Best Regards
Chong

Hi @Chong

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

As the account and it's password is auto generated when setup AADC server, can I reset the account password?

Yes, you can, but you must configure your Azure AD Connect with the new credentials

Can I remove 2 of them and all 3 servers use the same account?

In theory, yes you can.

But do any of this may add more complexity to the management to Azure AD Connect,

I have been working with more than 3 AADC and I did have any issues that require changing the credentials or removing the service users.

Hope this helps,
