The Line Between AD and Azure AD!

[@jeevandeep7823]

Not sure why KZbin has not recommended me this one! Absolutely awesome explanation!

[@Sunlitsneeze]

Best in the game! concise but you always go into enough detail to get thorough understanding of each teaching.

[@tedm8492]

Honestly I watched this video more of a refresher but John I just wanted to let you know your videos have actually inspired me to create my blog/training videos long term as well. This stuff gives me life, and I really appreciate you taking the immense amount of time to train/enlighten/inspire us.

[@NTFAQGuy]

very kind, thank you and congrats for starting!

[@tusharb9]

This is the BEST explanation out there on Azure AD and on-prem AD!! I stumbled upon your channel recently and I must say, it's GOLD!! Thank you for creating such informative videos.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Wow, thank you! That is very kind 🤙

Fantastic video John, you really took a huge, complicated relationship and did a wonderful job of boiling it down to what is important. Amazing stuff.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@alpinejonny]

@@NTFAQGuy It's amazing. I'm working on a massive enterprise centralized IDP solution for a client at the moment, and you basically gave me the tools I need to complete the architecture. I feel like I owe you a huge debt.

Best explanation I've ever had of the differences between AAD and AD. You have a talent to make sense out of things. Thanks a mil for this!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@redamaleki]

Awesome video! This provides a clear roadmap to help understand the delineation between the services. Now for a video on decommissioning on site servers and relying only on AAD and AADS, maybe a possible migration approach as well :-) . I may be in the minority as I interact with several clients, but quite a few are ready to dump on-premise servers (and AD) and embrace full cloud. Some still require AD services for a few of their cloud virtualized machines. They've done their diligence in setting up replication to AAD, but since they have the on-prem AD, they have servers that are required to manage accounts (e.g. Aliases for Exchange Online mailboxes for users sourced on premise). Self-managed AD provides some benefits (your variation on option 1), but doesn't feel like a step forward and would still require an exchange management server.

[@jmsz85]

[@NTFAQGuy]

[@MR-vj8dn]

Thank you for sharing. As an older tech guy, sometimes nicknamed "the legacy guy" at my company as I often try to solve problems using locally existing tech, I find it very helpful to watch your videos covering this modern thing called Azure and AAD. Not sure I'll ever change the way I solve things but with you sharing all of this, at least I can understand now what the younger ones are talking about. For that I am grateful. And please keep the videos at least as long as this one. The tempo is already high. 😵‍💫

Really Great video !!! I was used to your expertise in your IT books, now I see you live ... (Does AAD expand your muscles too ?!!! ;) I'm a good AD expert and an IT Trainer but definitively not a Cloud Expert ... I've been resisting to these new cloud schemes for a while but now In 2021, battle is over ... So thank you so much, John, your video gave me, in less than an hour, a sharp overview of these AD, AAD and Cloud evolutions ... I understand better what skills I should improve as an old IT Trainer to be still good enough to do my job till the end ...

Great Explanation!!! BTW, you seem to be a DC fan...are you?

[@NTFAQGuy]

[@chadsowald]

Great content, especially found the conditional access section intriguing. Had a question about external identities. If I have 2 tenants, under separate accounts, is there some way to have an AAD group from one domain/tenant be usable as a group in the other domain/tenant? Imagine one is my real tenant and other a test tenant. Basically like external users, but instead external groups (of external users), without having to register each individual external user and keep that list in sync?

[@NTFAQGuy]

No, there is no ability to make groups available to another tenant. You could write something or use something like MIM to replicate membership etc.

[@JonnyHjortland]

Very nice and concise walk through of Azure AD and the evolution from on-prem AD. In todays setup, on-prem AD will always be the master in a hybrid setup. For Azure AD Domain Services this is actually the other way around. When do you think Microsoft will make us able to let Azure AD also be the master source for the on-prem AD integration?

[@NTFAQGuy]

No idea about future change to source of truth.

[@CarlosRuiz1]

Good stuff, great content! I have couple of questions maybe you can help with when thinking about option 2 (replicating AAD to a managed AD DS instance). 1. Could you domain join a member server and use the admin tools from there? Group Policies? 2. Can you domain join clients to this domain? (Via s2s vpn to external site) Thanks, always fantastic videos!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yes, you can use a number of admin tools. You just don't have enterprise admin type permissions. For external remember you need DNS resolution to FIND the DCs then an IP path. The s2s vpn gives you IP path but your DNS would need to be able to resolve Azure DNS which is not possible unless you add a forwarder in your azure vnet that the on-premises DNS server forwards to. Never tried it. I have a video on Azure DNS where I walk through all the things about DNS.

[@anarabdullayev264]

Mr.John thanks for great content. I wanna get your opinion, what is the best practice when creating Managed Domain in Azure - using AADDS or AD in IaaS VM? Could you explain?

If there are no on-premise applications and all the application for a small enterprise is cloud based, then does it makes more sense to be on AAD purely? There will be 40 users and there laptops can be managed by InTune?

[@NTFAQGuy]

that really depends totally on the meeting solution. For teams you can invite external people (as can most solutions). If you actually want an object look at external identities. I have a video on that (B2B)

I think small to midsize business would be quicker to adopt Azure if it was just AD in the cloud. I want my OU's !

if it was just AD in the cloud you would have none of the benefits of talking cloud native, conditional access etc. It would be very limited. If you need AD in Azure use AADDS :-)
