Update to AAD Connect Communications Test

       
5/5 - (1 vote)

Greetings!

While working with a new customer this week, I was reviewing the Azure AD Connect prerequisites, and it turns out we have updated the prereq list as well made some information public about what the installation wizard checks for.

As such, I have updated the tool. 🙂

Updates

Neat things I’ve added:

  • Checking IE Zones to see if the MFA endpoint is present in Trusted Sites (IE ZoneMap 2). This is important if the global admin account used to configure AAD Connect has MFA enabled.
  • Added check for presence of DCOM registry entries.
  • Check Execution Policy settings.  Our documentation has been updated to reflect the recommend setting (RemoteSigned).

If test failure would result in installation failure, a message is output to console.  All details are logged.

How to get it

It’s available in the PowerShell Gallery at https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AADConnect-CommunicationsTest.

You can also install it via PowerShell:

Install-Script -Name AADConnect-CommunicationsTest

If you’ve already installed it, you can also update it:

Update-Script -Name AADConnect-CommunicationsTest

Let me know how it goes!
