Connector Location

Can the connectors be installed on the same server as Entra Connect Sync? please provide guidance in the documentation

That is how we have ours configured.

This is a very bad idea, @SiksikanWolf. Use seperate servers for the connectors: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/global-secure-access/how-to-configure-connectors. And treat your Entra Connect Sync as tier 0 - like your domain controllers.

The documentation never stated there must be a stand alone server for this. We installed it on our DCs that have AzureAD/EntraConnect Sync installed since were hybrid. It's been working pretty good.

Could you expound on your reasoning?
