+# Disable pass-through authentication 
 
-To disable PTA, complete the steps that are described in [Disable PTA when using Azure AD Connect](#disable-pta-when-using-azure-ad-connect) and [Disable PTA in PowerShell](#disable-pta-in-powershell) in this article.
+In this article, you learn how to disable pass-through authentication by using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect or PowerShell.
 
-## Disable PTA when using Azure AD Connect
+## Prerequisites
 
-If you are using Pass-through Authentication with Azure AD Connect and you have it set to **"Do not configure"**, you can disable it. 
+Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
 
->[!NOTE]
->If you have PHS already enabled then disabling PTA will result in the tenant fallback to PHS.
+- A Windows machine with pass-through authentication agent version 1.5.1742.0 or later installed. Any earlier version might not have the requisite cmdlets for completing this operation.
 
-Disabling PTA can be done using the following cmdlets. 
+   If you don't already have an agent, you can install it by doing the following:
 
-## Prerequisites
-The following prerequisites are required:
-- Any Windows machine that has the PTA agent installed. 
-- Agent must be at version 1.5.1742.0 or later. 
-- An Azure global administrator account in order to run the PowerShell cmdlets to disable PTA.
+   1. Go to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
+   1. Download the latest Auth Agent.
+   1. Install the feature by running either of the following: 
+      * `.\AADConnectAuthAgentSetup.exe`  
+      * `.\AADConnectAuthAgentSetup.exe ENVIRONMENTNAME=<identifier>`
+        > [!IMPORTANT]
+        > If you're using the Azure Government cloud, pass in the ENVIRONMENTNAME parameter with the following value: 
+        >
+        >| Environment Name | Cloud |
+        >| - | - |
+        >| AzureUSGovernment | US Gov |
 
->[!NOTE]
-> If your agent is older then it may not have the cmdlets required to complete this operation. You can get a new agent from Azure Portal an install it on any Windows machine and provide admin credentials. (Installing the agent does not affect the PTA status in the cloud)
+- An Azure global administrator account for running the PowerShell cmdlets.
+
+## Use Azure AD Connect
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> If you are using the Azure Government cloud then you will have to pass in the ENVIRONMENTNAME parameter with the following value. 
->
->| Environment Name | Cloud |
->| - | - |
->| AzureUSGovernment | US Gov|
+If you're using pass-through authentication with Azure AD Connect and you have it set to **Do not configure**, you can disable the setting. 
 
+>[!NOTE]
+>If you already have password hash synchronization enabled, disabling pass-through authentication will result in a tenant fallback to password hash synchronization.
