Introducing Azure AD Cross-Tenant Synchronization In the today's cloud world is quite common that a company A has its own AD tenant with Microsoft 365 applications, Azure, Dynamics 365 apps and third-party applications. Company A sometimes can acquire a new company called Company B (or strictly collaborate with it) and Company B has its own AD tenant with Microsoft 365 applications, Azure, Dynamics 365 apps and third-party applications.
