Gearing up for Azure AD Connect cloud provisioning

·3 mins
Introduction # In this post, we will cover the Azure AD Connect cloud provisioning (preview) released in November 2019. The Cloud provisioning is an Agent that can bridge between on-prem and Azure AD to sync users. I don’t see cloud provisioning as a replacement for AD Connect, but more like simplifying the way to configure user provisioning, across more complex setups with multiple or disconnected forests. Trying to achieve this earlier with AD Connect, requires a complex setup dependent on AD Trust. The Azure AD Connect cloud provisioning is much similar functionality Okta has had for some time, so my best guess is that Microsoft move is to gap the missing functionality. The tool will most likely get more features throughout 2020 🙂
