Enabling optional PAM feature

Bojan Zivkovic 461

Hi, I have forest which in the future will become managed forest when ESAE or its successor approach is implemented. Can I now enable PAM feature which can help me a lot by allowing time limited group membership without affecting future architecture where JIT will be implemented by MIM/PAM? Asking this because having been enabled, PAM feature can not be disabled.

Hi,

Since you it is more related to the MIM deployment , I can't give you more professional advice .
I would suggest you open a new thread with the tag Microsoft-Identity-Management.

Hey @Bojan Zivkovic ,

Yes you can enable the PAM feature in your Bastion forest without impacting a future MIM/PAM deployment. You may want to consider Microsoft's updated privileged user access strategy before making a substantial investment in the ESAE.

Hope this helps

Hey Tom, as I said forest I want to enable AD PAM feature in, will be managed forest in ESAE - not Bastion (Red) forest.

Hey @Bojan Zivkovic ,

I can't think of a reason you couldn't use PAM in the Corp forest, but maybe check the support position first with your Microsoft representative. I have personally only ever deployed PAM in the Bastion forest environment, but Microsoft has recently withdrawn this forest architecture from their mainstream recommendations.

Hope this helps

Thanks, I know PAM is always deployed in the Bastion forest but as component of MIM, not as optional AD feature.
