Azure AD Connect Adds Support for Windows Server 2016 and SQL 2016

If you're a customer who uses Azure Active Directory Connect, you'll want to know that Microsoft just released version 1.1.343.0, which adds support for Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2016 and fixes some bugs.

Improvements:

• Added support for installing Azure AD Connect on Windows Server 2016 standard or better.

• Added support for using SQL Server 2016 as the remote database for Azure AD Connect.

• Added support for managing AD FS 2016 using Azure AD Connect.

Fixed issues:

• Sometimes, installing Azure AD Connect fails because it is unable to create a local service account whose password meets the level of complexity specified by the organization's password policy.

• Fixed an issue where join rules are not re-evaluated when an object in the connector space simultaneously becomes out-of-scope for one join rule and become in-scope for another. This can happen if you have two or more join rules whose join conditions are mutually exclusive.

• Fixed an issue where inbound synchronization rules (from Azure AD) which do not contain join rules are not processed if they have lower precedence values than those containing join rules.
