Hi everyone,

I have got a case here, where in I have to synchronize multiple AD forest to a single O365 tenant.We can do that using Azure ad connect for FIM.

My concern here is, I already have all my users in o365 which has been created in cloud. I have same users in my local AD forests as well. I want to synchronize both the AD forest to my existing o365 tenant. Is it possible? We have taken the Enterprise Mobility Suite Licenses for all the existing o365 users. We need to enable single sign on to the apps those are being authenticated by our AD. This is the reason we are looking for this directory synchronization.

Any suggestion would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Tejas..

    Hello,

    Please, I have a similar problem and would like to know if the FIM help me solve.

    We have two Active Directory forests in the same company and single physical site, however we are implementing a third-party application that only allows LDAP integration with only a forest and not work with trust relationship.

    To solve this issue I thought about synchronizing accounts that are in the forest A who need to access the system in forest B and thus not having to create user repeated in forest B and thus maintain synchronized accounts. Would it be possible?

    Basically, this system would LDAP queries in forest B, but would be able to authenticate users of the forest that would be synchronized by the FIM.

    Regards,
