End of support for DirSync and Azure AD Sync

[ellsandell]

Noticed this on twitter today, in case anyone is still running DirSync or AD Sync.

 

Today, we are confirming that DirSync and Azure AD Sync will reach end of Support as planned on April 13, 2017.

I would highly recommend that if you haven’t upgraded to Azure AD Connect, you should do so VERY soon to avoid service disruptions. Azure AD will stop accepting connections from DirSync and Azure AD Sync after December 31, 2017.

Think I better check my clients that sync with O365 that they are using Azure AD Sync which I am fairly sure they are!

You need to be using azure ad connect not azure ad sync and dirsync.

[Devontechie]

Yes that's it, it's connect now and not sync!

The amount of different names for a nearly identical product is confusing

[Norphy]

That's just how Microsoft roll...

[Devontechie]

Yeah it is confusing with different names for almost identical products

 

All 8 clients with AD Sync setup are already using Azure AD connect. So no extra job to be added to my list!
