This new Connector is based on ECMA2 and is the same we use in recent releases of DirSync. It is intended to be used when DirSync is not a viable option. We still recommend to use DirSync as the primary solution to synchronize AD to AAD and use it whenever possible. For additional details, please read the documentation that comes with the Connector.

They are also looking for customers who would be interested to use this Connector in a production environment in a TAP program. These customer will be able to get production support on this pre-release version of the Connector. If you have any candidates, please send me an email.
Until later,
