In this 16-video course, learners discover Azure AD Connect, which links an on-premises AD (active directory) environment with Azure AD, allowing for seamless authentication for on-premises and cloud-based apps. In preparation for AZ-300: Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies certification exam, you can explore additional Azure AD options and use them to reduce help desk tickets. Key concepts covered here include learning to implement various authentication frameworks; learning when to use identity federation; and how to determine when to use certificate, forms-based, and Windows-integrated authentication. Next, observe how to determine when to use each Azure AD Connect sign-in method; how to install and configure Azure AD Connect; and how to filter an on-premises AD OUs sync to Azure AD. Then learn to enable Azure AD Connect password writeback setting; learn to enable SSPR and SSGM; and learn to detect suspicious user activity through AD Identity Protection. Finally, learn how to enable baseline policies; to configure Azure AD enterprise roaming; to configure a virtual machine-managed identity; and to use the portal to create a key vault.
