Hi everyone I want to install Microsoft Azure AD Connect to use NPS extension on Windows Server 2016. At step "Configure", the program has dynamically created an Azure account and require a password.

I don't know this account's password. So, i changed its password at https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home?#/users After login success, an error has been displayed.

Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks for your time.

    Hi @Luc Duong

    This account should not have its password reset manually, as the password is managed by the AD connect service.
    See details here for the Accounts implemented & required by AD Connect installer; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/reference-connect-accounts-permissions

    Based on your screenshots, it may be easier to start the AD Connect installation again, or you can attempt to fix the account password using the following process:
