Azure Active Directory for the Old-School AD Admin

Greetings! Hilde here to wish you a Happy New Year and to welcome you to the first Monday of 2015 and the first post of 2015 for AskPFEPlat!

As you may know from reading my posts here, I tend to reminisce. Well it's the New Year, so here I go again … Anyone out there remember the "Distributed Systems Guide" from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit series of books? Chances are if you are an old-school AD admin, you read it cover to cover more than once. Pound for pound, that book is one of my top IT books EVER (and heaviest). I still learn something every time I open it. KUDOS to the numerous authors who had a hand in its creation (some of whom I've been privileged enough to work with). I still like tangible "hold in my hand" books and I would love an update to that one but the way book publishing has changed, I don't see that happening.

Azure AD Connect: One simple, fast, lightweight tool to connect Active Directory and Azure Active Directory

Back in August I posted a blog announcing the beta release of Azure AD Connect. Since then we have received a lot of feedback and made improvements in AAD Connect and AAD Sync, including multi forest support and password write back.

The biggest thing we've learned from you, our customers and partners, is that rather than a bunch of different tools (DirSync, AAD Connect, AAD Sync, ADFS, etc.) you want one simple, integrated tool for connecting your existing Windows Server Active Directory with Azure Active Directory. You'll be happy to know that we've acted on your feedback!
