If your still running DirSync or Azure AD Sync here is the deprecation schedule:

  • April 13, 2016 — Windows Azure Active Directory Sync (“DirSync”) and Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync (“Azure AD Sync”) are announced as deprecated.
  • April 13, 2017 — Support ends. Customers will no longer be able to open a support case without upgrading to Azure AD Connect first.
