What scenarios do we use Azure AD domain Services?

Question

I would like to understand use cases for Azure AD domain Services and how it differs from from on-premise Active directory.

Answer 1

The use cases are:

• Any use case you need a directory service similar to an on-premises AD

The differences:

• You don't have to take care of the VMs hosting the AD (2 DC VMS will be deployed but managed by Microsoft in Azure)
• You are not allowed to extend the AD schema in AADDS (as far as I know today)
• You are limited in the OU structure for replicated objects (User, Groups) from Azure AD (you can't move objects in other OUs, You can't create objects in this special OUs manually)
