(Cloud) Tip of the Day: Azure AD Connect

Today’s Tip…

Azure AD Connect provides customers with a wizard driven deployment for the cloud onboarding technologies of Sync and Federation. Based on how customers answer the answers provided in the wizard, Azure AD Connect will deploy Directory Synchronization (At this time, it will deploy Azure AD Sync Tool aka DirSync) and AD FS (when password hash sync is not enabled.) within the customers environment.

Note: In the future, instead of deploying with Azure AD Sync Tool (DirSync), it will deploy Azure AD Sync Services (AAD Sync).
