Objective

One of the key aspects of deploying Microsoft 365 is the ability to provide users a single identity and ensuring it is properly configured. When this is accomplished, users can access seamlessly resources that are on-premises and in Microsoft 365 environment. Otherwise, users will have to use multiple accounts depending on where the resources are hosted. In this deliverable, you will use Microsoft Azure AD Connect tool to sync on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD. First, you will install Windows Server 2019 in a virtual environment and create an Active Directory Forest. Second, you will install and configure the Azure AD Sync tool. Finally, you will show the accounts that are synced to the Microsoft 365 Tenant.
