In reply to Shane. How do you add the password back into the service acount? I have this problem, but the AD sync service wont start at all.

Just had the exact same issue. The other week we moved the AD connect from a windows 2012 server to 2019. All was working fine. I just rebooted this server, then noticed that no syncs had been done for 2 hours. Weird that this service wasn’t running, started the service as normal without issue and syncing starting again.

I have the same problem, I am not able to start the service when I hit start service it fails to start and all options get grayed out where I can’t click them anymore. I tried stopping/starting using powershell still not luck. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I have an issue where when the upgrade run is succeeds but does not restart the aadsync service, since the service did not fail it was stopped by the upgrader it is not auto restarted and is stuck in the stopped state until it is manually restarted. Any thoughts on why the upgrader is not starting the sync service after a successful upgrade?

every time we reboot the server that has AD connect, we have to add the password for the ADDXXXXX account in order for it to start running again, this happens at every reboot every month.

In reply to Sohil. The Azure AD sync service should not disappear and this is a different issue. Analyze your GPO's once and see if something is uninstalling the Azure ADSync from the computer.
