lost our DC

Question

I have lost my active directory through a ransomware attack, we managed to get a 6-month-old version of the server, is it possible to use Azure AD "Microsoft Entra", as we already have a hyped deployment, and update the old version of our local AD from Azure AD?

Answer 1

Hi @Mahmoud

just be sure that entra connect is working fine to continue syncing entra ID from on premise AD after the restoration from a old backup.

Answer 2

To answer your question, it is possible to use Microsoft Entra (formerly known as Azure Active Directory) to update the old version of your local server ¹²³. Microsoft Entra is a cloud-based directory and identity management service that provides user and group management, on-premises directory synchronization, basic reports, self-service password change for cloud users, and single sign-on across Azure, Microsoft 365, and many popular SaaS apps ¹.
