Microsoft Azure AD Connect vs Cloud Sync
-
Hello everyone,
We have Microsoft Azure AD Connect version 2.3.6.0 so I don't think we will be shut down at the end of March like some of the portal warnings say, but we should probably work into installing Microsoft Entra Cloud sync. I've been watching the 365 Administrator series with Anthony and Sophia and it has been helpful. Where can I more info into how to transition those two agents? Of course we would back up the on-premises AD first, and then install Cloud sync over top and as long it's working for a while and lastly uninstall the Connect agents?
Anthony did mention this in a video but I'd like more information or resources to research plan ahead. Thank you so much for any assistance. Keep up the good work, and I plan to resubscribe when it isn't full price. That's too much money for me right now.

@Brian-Fischer, have you looked online for discount codes? I know YouTube content creators like Network Chuck and TWiT (twit.tv) are always offering 30% off the life of a subscription. I managed to find a 40% code via Google. I know another person who found a 50% code on Google. Something to check out!
