My apologies if this has been answered previously. I am attempting to install Azure Active Directory Connect on my stand-alone DC for the sole purpose of simplifying password management with Office365. I have followed theprerequisites guide, and have installed and completed the 365 IdFix tool. I am installing this on a nonroutable domain, however I have performed the requisite steps so that my users resolve to a routable suffix.
When I go through the AAD Connect Wizard, the required component installation fails every time with the message "Unable to install the Synchronization Service". Looking at the trace log, I see "Error 906 ADSync Bootstrap Service Failed to Start. I have tried to uninstall AD Sync which required manually removing the AD Sync Service in the Registry. Installation failed with same message.
Here is the relevant log entry from my latest attempt. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
