Hi community,

I'm deploying AD Bridge in a production environment, and the client has a high-availability infrastructure where server restarts are not permitted.

Is it possible to install the AD Bridge agent without requiring a server reboot after the installation?

I look forward to your response.

Thank you.

Hey ​@mcapitanich,

 

A reboot necessarily isn’t required for AD Bridge, and isn’t listed in the documentation. However, when testing, first install ADB, join the domain, and test logging in, etc. **before a reboot** to ensure that the connection works as expected. Reboots can validate everything continues to work as expected. 

That said, I always recommend checking in with our professional services teams if you are unsure in a Production environment to ensure migrations and any gotchas can be found early.
