Microsoft Entra Connect Sync synchronizes on-premises Active Directory with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) to extend the directory to the cloud and enable hybrid identity. The express settings installation provides a quick, default setup for single-forest topologies with password hash sync, including prerequisites and TLS 1.2 enforcement, with optional Exchange Hybrid deployment. After installation, you can verify the deployment, assign licenses, and manage synchronization options, including an initial full sync of users, groups, and contacts.
