54. Evaluating requirements and solutions for authentication I want to spend some time now talking about evaluating requirements and solutions for authentication. OK, so, we need to be thinking in regards to the authentication method that’s going to tie everything together. If we’re going to do a hybrid environment, we’re going to be using on-premise ads with our cloud services. OK. So with your Azure identity, our hybrid identity solution, this going to be the foundation of authentication, right? And cloud access. So […]
52. Evaluating requirements and solutions for synchronization We’re going to spend some time now talking about the evaluating of requirements and solutions for synchronization, so this where we start thinking in terms of, you know, if we’re going to, we’re going to be planning out the concepts of synchronizing our on-premise Active Directory accounts into the cloud. We have to understand the different solutions that are available to us. So first off, we are setting up a hybrid identity config configuration here, and […]
50. Configuring User Accounts for new domain names Once you have added your custom domain into your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment, of course, one consideration there is that our users don’t just magically start having that domain name now in a perfect world, you would create your tenant. You would go ahead and get your custom domain set up before you start adding users. Or if you’re going to synchronize with Azure and connect with your on-premise domain, you would have everything […]
47. Configuring AD to support additional domain names Now that we’ve explored user identities, you’ve gotten an understanding of getting into Azure Active Directory. I want to begin moving us in the direction of connecting our on-premise Active Directory AIDS Active Directory Domain Services with Azure AD.. OK, now in order to do that, there are some considerations. First off, we need to consider what our domain name is and Active Directory. OK. In my little lab environment here, my domain name is […]
44. Implement Azure AD DS Now, on top of us having our own on-premise, Active Directory of AIDS Active Directory domain services that we’ve had, you know, since the year 2000 case since Active Directory has come out, we’ve always had an on-premise way of installing Active Directory on-premise and setting up domain controllers, configuring those domain controllers and all that and managing it all on-premise. Microsoft is now giving us the capability to host Active Directory in the cloud a couple of […]
43. Implement group managed service accounts (gMSAs) I want to talk about a feature known as the group managed service accounts, also known as G M S. All right. Now services are something we’ve had in windows since the very early days. The services are the behind the scenes system processes that allow windows to do some of the different activities that it needs to do. We can look at services by right clicking our start button and then from there we can […]
41. The universal group membership caching feature Now we’ve learned about universal groups in a previous lesson, however, there are a couple of considerations that I need to explain about universal groups. Number one, that being that universal groups get replicated with global catalog servers only. They get managed through global catalog servers only, and there are some considerations there that you have to think about. So, I want to get into that with you now. And so to do that, it’s going […]
39. Visualizing groups in AD DS Now, when it comes to managing your users, as far as security and rights are concerned, one of the most important fundamentals that we need to understand is the concept of groups. Groups is not a new concept, as it again has been in the Microsoft environment since the early days of centralizing. Or there their networking services and AIDS, which came out in the year 2000, has pretty much always had groups and they’ve had different […]
