Is there any impact on password synchronization during the PDC role change?
For legacy password synchronization, changing the PDC role to another Domain Controller won't affect password sync.
1) Password monitoring depends on the Directory Sync Agent server configuration.
2) Password monitoring in Active Directory depends on the Priority Server configured in the environment.
When changing the PDC role to another server, password sync continues to work as expected.
If you need to change it to another server, make sure to select a different password monitor server on the same configuration page.
