Looking to update our internal network from Win 7 Pro desktops and 2008R2 DC to Win 10 Enterprise E3 and Server 2016 DC. I Understand we need Azure AD Connect to activate Win 10 Pro Enterprise features.
We currently have Office365 subscriptions purely for email/calendar. Most users access via Outlook on desktop or mobile - very few use web apps, and then only rarely.
Our internal AD domain schema has been rolled over and upgraded for many years from NT4 > 2003 > 2008R2, and uses a different internal domain name to our email address, and users have different user names to their email address.
As part of the upgrade I intend to set up and migrate to a fresh internal AD schema and new usernames, and logically these should match email address/domain. Our Office365 subscription means that MS has already set up our users in Azure AD based on email addresses anyway.
My question is if we use Azure AD Connect, is it possible to have different passwords to authenticate internally against our AD domain controller versus that used to authenticate in Office365?
Thanks!
