2020 >[!IMPORTANT]
21 −>**Mandatory Upgrade Required**: All synchronization services in Microsoft Entra Connect Sync will stop working on **September 30, 2026** if you're not on at least version 2.5.79.0. In May 2025, we released this version with a back-end service change that hardens our services. Upgrade before this deadline to avoid any service disruption.
21 +>Mandatory upgrade required: Upgrade Microsoft Entra Connect Sync to version 2.5.79.0 or later and configure application-based authentication by April 7, 2027. Legacy authentication is being retired, and synchronization services will stop working after this date if these requirements aren't met.
2222 >
23 −>If you're unable to upgrade before the deadline, all synchronization services will fail until you upgrade to the latest version. The Microsoft Entra Connect Sync .msi installation file is exclusively available on [Microsoft Entra Admin Center](https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_Connect_Provisioning/AADConnectMenuBlade/%7E/GetStarted). Make sure you meet the minimum requirements including .NET Framework 4.7.2 and TLS 1.2.
23 +>If synchronization stops, upgrade to the latest version and configure application-based authentication to restore service. The Microsoft Entra Connect Sync .msi installation file is exclusively available on [Microsoft Entra Admin Center](https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_Connect_Provisioning/AADConnectMenuBlade/%7E/GetStarted). Make sure you meet the minimum requirements including .NET Framework 4.7.2 and TLS 1.2.

133 −
134 −> [!IMPORTANT]
135 −> This release includes security fixes. We recommend upgrading to this version as soon as possible.
136 −
137 −### Release status
138 −
139 −09/23/2026: Released for download via the Microsoft Entra admin center. This is a hotfix release.
140 −
141 −### Bug fixes
142 −
143 −- Fixed an issue in version 2.6.91.0 where enabling Pass-through Authentication through the Microsoft Entra Connect wizard could fail while registering the locally installed Microsoft Entra Connect Authentication Agent.

152 −09/16/2026: Released for download via the Microsoft Entra admin center.
153 −
154 −### Added features
155 −
156 −- Added a guided migration workflow from Microsoft Entra Connect Sync to Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync. The workflow includes configuration assessment, provisioning agent setup, staged activation, and validation. This feature is available only in the Azure public cloud.
157 −- Added support for an additional sovereign cloud environment, including Pass-through Authentication, Seamless Single Sign-On, password writeback, and Health Agent monitoring.
158 −
159 −### Updated features
160 −
161 −- 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.
162 −- When you configure Seamless Single Sign-On by using the standalone PowerShell module, you must import `ADSync.psd1` before `AzureADSSO.psd1`. [Learn more](../cloud-sync/how-to-sso.md).
163 −- 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`.
164 −- 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](how-to-connect-installation-wizard.md#customize-synchronization-options).
165 −- Updated the bundled SQL Server 2022 LocalDB from version 16.0.4250.1 to 16.0.4262.2.
166 −
167 −### Bug fixes
168 −
169 −- Fixed an issue where installing or upgrading Microsoft Entra Connect with an existing ADSync database could fail with error `0xE0474352`.
170 −- Fixed an issue where upgrading Microsoft Entra Connect didn't update an installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable version earlier than 14.41.
171 −- Fixed an issue where the Microsoft Entra Connect wizard could close during startup when the Windows PowerShell Transcription policy contained an invalid output directory.
172 −- Fixed an Application-Based Authentication certificate rotation issue that could remove the last usable application key during directory replica delays.
173 −- Fixed an issue where Synchronization Service Manager could close unexpectedly when you opened Connector Properties and listed directory partitions.
174 −- Fixed an issue where Change Credentials didn't open for connector rows outside the visible area on configurations with many Active Directory connectors.
175 −- Fixed an issue where expanding a previously deselected domain on the Domain and OU filtering page could reselect the domain and enable synchronization for the entire domain after the wizard completed.
176 −- Fixed multiple security vulnerabilities in bundled third-party dependencies and hardened local temporary-file permissions and SharePoint connector profile-image downloads.
