We currently use Azure Cloud Connect to sync our OnPrem AD to Azure for our Hybrid environment and it works perfectly for us. We received (several, like 50 plus lol) emails from Azure stating our version of Connect is out of date and we need to upgrade the version to the new Connect or CloudSync before October 1 2023.
I did their questionaire and looks like CloudSync is the way to go for anyone really (lightweight agent on 1 or more onprem servers, configure in the Azure portal as opposed to the complex Connect agent ). As as per usual, Microsoft's documentation for installing CloudSync and decomissioning Connect spans multiple documents and vauge steps.
Now, it seems to me that the process should be straight forward:
Install CloudSync agent on 1 or more qualifying servers OnPrem
Configure the Sync in the Azure portal
Suspend the Connect services, make sure Cloud Sync is working
Decom/remove the Connect services/agent
But, as described, the guides span several documents and are tedious to read. has anyone gone though this and could give me an idea of how this actualy goes? Thanks!
