I know that ADFS cannot be used to process a Windows desktop interactive login and I'm assuming this is the same case with WAAD.
For example I am unable to use WAAD to process an interactive login for an on-premisses AD dirsynced user to an VM running in Windows Azure IaaS without actually having a Domain Controller available in Azure correct?
Similarly WAAD only syncs user accounts and doesn't sync things like AD sites, GPOs, Group Memberships, a copy of sysvol, etc, right?
