Hi All ,

I am new to Azure products and license, please don't mind if my questions and approach is wrong.

I am looking to purchase a license for Azure Active directory synchronization -SSO for Onprem AD to Azure AD,

  1. As part of the Explorations I cone to know that I can have Azure AD premium 2 -- Correct me If I am wrong.
  2. Other option: M365 business premium also covers the Azure AD premium 2
  3. with above both the option i come to know that Intune also coming as a feature, I am thinking to use of the same.
  4. Currently I am using 0365 Business apps for office utilities and applications.

Shall I continue with the 0365 Business apps for office utilities and applications and Azure AD premium 2?
or shall I go for M365 business premium?
what are the your thoughts.

I am looking to have MDM, 3rd party application management(install and uninstall from admin console on the endpoints) through the Intune policies?

    @Naresh ,Thanks for posting in Q&A. In fact, Intune is included in the following licenses:

    Microsoft 365 E5
    Microsoft 365 E3
    Enterprise Mobility + Security E5
    Enterprise Mobility + Security E3
    Microsoft 365 Business Premium
    Microsoft 365 F1
    Microsoft 365 F3
    Microsoft 365 Government G5
    Microsoft 365 Government G3
    Intune for Education
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/licenses#microsoft-intune

    We can choose either of them. I notice you also mentioned Azure AD premium 2 license. Based on my research, Microsoft 365 E5, Enterprise Mobility + Security E5, also include Azure Ad premium 2 license.

    For Azure AD related questions, as Intune support, we are not familiar, I notice AAD tag is added. You can confirm with AAD support.

    For license related question, you can also contact our license support to get more help.
