Description

Azure Active Directory Connect, the tool to connect Active Directory and Azure Active Directory in a few clicks, is now generally available. Azure Active Directory Connect will guide you to synchronize only the data you need from single- or multi-forest environments, and it enables single sign-on (SSO) via password sync or federation with Active Directory Federation Services to Office 365 and thousands of other SaaS applications. Organizations that are already using DirSync or Azure Active Directory Sync can take advantage of the benefits of Azure Active Directory Connect with migration or an in-place upgrade from supported configurations. Watch this short video on how to configure the express settings of Azure Active Directory Connect. To learn how to enable your directory for hybrid management, please visit this Azure Active Directory Connect documentation page. Azure Active Directory Connect
