“We've heard consistent feedback that integrating your on premises identities with Azure AD is harder than it should be. There are too many pages of documentation to read, too many different tools to download and configure, and far too much on premises hardware required. We agree!
We've heard your feedback and shared our plans to make Azure AD integration with local directories easier:
- Streamline the experience so fewer tools are required
- Guide you through the experience so you don't have to read a bunch of documents
- Reduce the on-premises footprint so you don't have to deploy a bunch of servers
To achieve these goals, we've created Azure AD Connect. Now you can connect your on-premises Windows Server Active Directory to your tenant in Azure Active Directory with only 4 clicks.”
