Here we talk about and demonstrate the process for configuring Azure AD Connect to synchronize your Active Directory objects to your Microsoft 365 tenant. You will learn how to:

  • Configure Active Directory on Windows Server 2022
  • Use ID Fix tool to check for potential sync errors
  • Understand the available authentication methods with AADC
  • Set up Azure AD Connect using Password Hash Sync
  • Use PowerShell to trigger manual syncs

When you have completed these steps, you will understand how to manage synchronization between Active Directory and Azure AD

Sync Active Directory to Azure AD with Azure AD Connect is a tool that helps you synchronize identities between your on-premises Active Directory and your Azure Active Directory. It provides a simple, secure and seamless way to connect your on-premises Windows Server Active Directory to Azure AD, allowing users to access both on-premises and cloud applications with a single identity. It also enables you to extend your on-premises Active Directory to Azure, making it easier to manage user accounts in the cloud.

Azure AD Connect is the most commonly used tool to sync identities between an on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD. It can be used to synchronize user, group, and computer accounts, as well as passwords and other directory data. It can also be used to enable single sign-on (SSO) for users between on-premises and cloud applications.
