Active Directory Syncronization Service (ADSS)

Question

Hello Comunity. I saw a video about Active Directory Syncronization Service (ADSS) a MS Hosted and managed Sync Service, in order to sync 2 Azure Ad Tenants. New users in one Tenant are automatically created as external Guests in the other Tenant. Unfortunatly i am not able to get further information about this service. Does it still exist? how is it licenesed? what's the price? How t get started?

If someone has some information about this, i would be happy to get in contact in order to get more info about how to order and onboard this service.

everything i found about this, is a 4 year old video from MS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vXtQ87oMvU

Kind regards

Roland

Answer 1

ADSS Tenant Sync service is a Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS) offering. Tenant Sync is a service that is purchased and delivered through a services agreement and contract with MCS. You must engage your Microsoft account representative to work with the ADxS Product Sales team to have an ADSS Tenant Sync engagement. ADSS is not part of Azure Active Directory Connect and is not a license-based service, but rather a SaaS offering. Both ADSS on-premises and ADSS Tenant Sync are services offerings.

Answer 2

Hello there,

I suppose this ADSS service has been integrated with ADSync service .

Azure AD Connect installs an on-premises service which orchestrates synchronization between Active Directory and Azure Active Directory.

Answer 3

Last I checked ADSS was a managed service that Microsoft offers rather than an Azure resource offering. You have to engage Microsoft Enterprise Services through your MS account rep and, based on your org's requirements, they can propose a solution and pricing.
