The Azure account is managed and run by a Microsoft Account user. The same user has a Office 365 subscription so it has an work/organization account as well. Because the Microsoft sign-in pages are confused and messed up if a user needs to use different accounts for different services (for example, when the user tries to go to portal.azure.com, it is sometimes automatically logged in using the Office 365 account which naturally does not work in Azure), we are thinking of merging these two directories under one account. Based on the following articles it should be possible:

However, some crucial information are missing:
- It is possible to rollback the merge (decouple/untrust the two directories) later on? How?
- Based on http://blogs.windows.com/business/2014/11/07/windows-10-manageability-choices/ the Windows 10 will (finally) support Azure AD accounts. Will it work flawlessly or this merge will make some issues (currently, we are using Microsoft Account to sign-in to Windows 8.1) or lost functionality (for example, user will need to choose whether to log-in with Microsoft Account and live without Azure AD dependent functionality like auto-login to Office 365 apps/services or vice versa)?
- Are there anything else we should be aware of?
