Updated features

  • Phishing-resistant authentication in the Microsoft Entra Connect setup wizard is now generally available and enabled by default. The Windows Web Account Manager prompt supports passkeys, FIDO2 security keys, and passwords, reuses the signed-in session across Microsoft Entra services, and preserves Seamless Single Sign-On Kerberos key rotation. Learn more.
  • When you configure Seamless Single Sign-On by using the standalone PowerShell module, you must import ADSync.psd1 before AzureADSSO.psd1. Learn more.
  • Cloud configuration cmdlets no longer require an explicit -AADUserName. When you omit the parameter, Microsoft Entra Connect derives a sign-in hint from the connector configuration and opens an interactive sign-in prompt. This behavior applies to Set-ADSyncAADCompanyFeature, Set-ADSyncAADPasswordSyncState, Enable-ADSyncExportDeletionThreshold, Set-ADSyncScheduler, and Set-ADSyncDirSyncConfiguration.
  • The Select Containers dialog in Synchronization Service Manager is now read-only. You can still use the dialog to view the current selections. To make changes, use Customize synchronization options in the Microsoft Entra Connect wizard. Learn more.

Added features

  • Added support for phishing-resistant authentication methods in the Microsoft Entra Connect setup wizard (preview). Administrators can now sign in using passkeys and FIDO2 security keys through Windows Web Account Manager (WAM) when configuring Microsoft Entra Connect. Learn more.
  • Added support for the France sovereign cloud environment, including Pass-through Authentication, Seamless Single Sign-On, password writeback, and Health Agent monitoring.
