What is the version of installed AAD Connect?

There are 2 ways to check the version of the installed AAD Connect:

 

  1. Help => About

Start the AAD Connect synchronization console and look for the Menu Item Help, after click on about:

AAD Connect Synchronization Manager

 

and the About window appears:

About AAD Connect

 

2. Installed Software

Click on start and type: appwiz.cpl

after you hit enter the Programs and Features control panel will appear:

 

Programs and Features

 

as you can see there are 3 entries here:

      1. Microsoft Azure AD Connect => this is the AAD Connect Wizard
      2. Microsoft Azure AD Connect Health Agent for Sync => this is the health agent
      3. Microsoft Azure AD Connect synchronization services => this is the sync service itself

 

sometimes you will see different version for Microsoft Azure AD Connect  and Microsoft Azure AD Connect synchronization services; this means that AAD Connect is upgraded but the upgrade is not yet run to upgrade Microsoft Azure AD Connect synchronization service.

 

Happy Troubleshooting!
