Hello @Marouf Ali

Thank you for sharing your issue on Microsoft Q&A.

I understand you want to get a list of objects of the Microsoft Entra domain compared with the list of AD DS objects.

Kindly refer to the below table:

Feature	Microsoft Entra ID	Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
Users	Supports cloud-based user accounts for authentication and identity management.	Manages on-premises user accounts for domain authentication.
Groups	Includes security groups and Microsoft 365 groups, with dynamic membership options.	Primarily supports security groups and distribution groups with static membership.
Devices	Registers and manages devices for cloud access, including support for BYOD and hybrid devices.	Manages devices joined to the on-premises domain.
Applications	Provides application registration for single sign-on (SSO) and OAuth-based access.	Relies on Service Principal Names (SPNs) for Kerberos-based application authentication.
Roles	Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is used to delegate permissions within the cloud environment.	Delegates control using custom permissions on organizational units (OUs) and Group Policy.
Organizational Units (OUs)	Does not support OUs; uses groups and tags for organization.	Uses OUs for logical structuring and policy application.
Domain Controllers	Does not require domain controllers; fully cloud-based.	Requires on-premises domain controllers to manage authentication and policies.
Trusts	No concept of trusts; uses federations and conditional access.	Supports domain and forest trusts for inter-domain access.
Policies	Uses Conditional Access policies for access control.	Uses Group Policy Objects (GPOs) for user and computer configuration.
Authentication Methods	Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), passwordless, and modern authentication protocols like OAuth, SAML.	Primarily uses NTLM, Kerberos, and passwords.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
