Migrate from Entra Connect to Microsoft Cloud Sync for better resiliency – Part 1
Microsoft Cloud Sync is a new solution for achieving your hybrid identity synchronizing contacts, groups, and users with Microsoft Entra ID—is Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync.
Rather than using the Microsoft Entra Connect it makes use of the Microsoft Entra cloud provisioning agent. In this article series we will take a look at the steps to migrate from Entra ID connect to Microsoft cloud sync (After detailed analysis)
We will choose only a Pilot OU on this part to see if the synchronization is getting successful for these Pilot OU.
Below are the benefits of migrating to Cloud Sync:
- Config is easily managed from Azure AD portal
- Cloud Sync does not require SQL server licensing (Azure AD Connect requires a SQL Server database to store identity data)
- It’s a light weight agent no heavy dependencies of need to setup a local DB SQL backend
- Deployment complexity & maintenance is fair less
Moving on to resiliency:
- Multiple agents can be installed for parallel sync.
- Whereas Azure AD connect uses Active & Staging mode to achieve some resiliency.
Regarding performance :
- Its capable of performing Sequential Sync
- Supports Sync to a single tenant from a multi-forest disconnected AD environments
So the question comes here first like ok this seems to be nice but I already have my environment setup and running in Azure AD connect.
What is the steps to migrate to Microsoft Cloud Sync ?
Below are the steps to do that.
First things first (Lets be very honest here )
Not all environments are capable of moving to Cloud Sync .
So we need to first evaluate any environment before choosing this option.
How do I validate ?
You can use the Microsoft setup tool by navigating to the below url

Make use of the Azure Recovery Services Vault Backup to restore your Domain Controller
It’s been quite a while since I blogged, and since I started doing podcasts, this has been reduced a lot.This time I thought to blog something about the cool stuff in the Entra ID feature I explored in the demo and wanted to share about the same.
Today in this blog, let’s take a look at restoring a domain controller running on the Azure virtual machine from the Recovery Services vault.
Recovery Services Vault is a feature provided by Microsoft Entra that offers centralized management and protection of data, applications, and workloads.
One of the services offered by Recovery Services Vault is it’s backup.
We also talked about the site recovery in the previous video, and if you want to have more information on it, I highly recommend taking a look at it.
In the backup part, it allows us to securely backup and recovery our applications in the event of accidental deletion , data corruption, or site failures.
