Azure Active Directory Sync Problems

On the OS instance that runs DirSync, launch miisclient.exe, which can be found in C:Program FilesWindows Azure Active Directory SyncSYNCBUSSynchronization ServiceUIShell.

Select the Operations tab. Look for the status for the Windows Azure Active Directory Connector operations. If you see a status of stopped-extension-dll-exception, the most likely cause is that the password has expired for the account you're using for synchronization to Azure Active Directory.

Select the Management Agents tab.

Right-click Windows Azure Active Directory Connector and select Properties.

Select Connectivity; the account and password used will display, as the following figure shows.

Navigate to the Microsoft Azure site and log on with this account. Change the password when you're prompted.

Go back to the properties of the Azure Active Directory connector in miisclient. Enter the new password for the account and click OK.

Synchronization should now work again. You can select the Run action for the Management Agent and manually run the Delta Import, Delta Sync, and Export jobs.
