Entra Connect Sync 2.5.76 released

Hi All,

Just a few days ago, Microsoft has released a new Version of Entra Connect Sync.

It’s only downloadable via the Microsoft Entra Admin Center

• Microsoft Entra Connect: Version release history

There is also a new Article (or at least new to me) about the diffrent Stages for Identity Cloud transformation

• Cloud transformation posture

Download

Download is only availabel in Entra Admin Portal and is now not as hidden anymore

Entra Admin Center > Identity > Entra Connect > Entra Connect Sync Download the latest Entra Connect Sync Version

If you click on the Download Link you have to click on the “Accept terms & download” Button. It will download AzureAdConnect.msi 😂

Another missed chance to rename the Downloaded File 😉

Upgrade

After downloading the AzureAdConnect.msi you need to run it

Then the Entra Connect Sync Upgrade Wizard will show

It will upgrade the Entra Connect Sync Engine

Now you need to Sign-In with the “Hybrid Identity Administrator” or “Global Administrator” Role

Sign-In and response to the MFA Challenge

Now you are ready to upgrade

It will upgrade the Connectors and the Sync Rules

Successfully updated

Checks

Let’s check the Version after the Installation

(Get-Item "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure AD Sync\Bin\miiserver.exe").VersionInfo

Check Entra

It takes a while to update the Version Number in Entra

Let’s check also with PowerShell

Connect-MgGraph -Scope OnPremDirectorySynchronization.Read.All -NoWelcome
$Sync = Get-MgBetaDirectoryOnPremiseSynchronization
$sync.Configuration.CurrentExportData.ServiceAccount
$Sync.Configuration.SynchronizationClientVersion
