I would like to synchronize my on-premises Active Directory users to Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). I currently have only an Entra ID tenant and do not have an Azure subscription. In this scenario, is it possible to synchronize users to Entra ID using Microsoft Entra ID Connect?

Yes, you can synchronize your on-premises Active Directory users to Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) without having an Azure subscription. You can use Microsoft Entra Connect to set up the synchronization. This tool allows you to connect your on-premises Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID, enabling the synchronization of users, groups, and other objects. The configuration and management primarily occur in the cloud, which minimizes the need for on-premises infrastructure.

It's important to ensure that you have the necessary permissions and that your on-premises Active Directory is properly configured to work with Microsoft Entra Connect for the synchronization to be successful.
