Implement hybrid identity with Windows Server
This module covers how to implement hybrid identity by integrating on-premises AD DS with Microsoft Entra ID. You learn how to select from Microsoft Entra integration models including extending AD DS to Azure, directory synchronization, password hash sync, and federation with AD FS, plan and prepare on-premises AD DS for synchronization with Microsoft Entra Connect, configure seamless single sign-on (SSO) and pass-through authentication, enable Microsoft Entra ID login for Azure VMs, and implement Microsoft Entra Domain Services for Kerberos authentication, LDAP, and Group Policy in the cloud without deploying domain controllers.
