Azure AD Connect cloud sync

Instead of the Azure AD Connect application, a cloud provisioning agent can be used. However, Azure AD Connect cloud sync can also be leveraged along with Azure AD Connect sync to enable the synchronization of data to a tenant from a multi-forest disconnected AD forest environment, which is a functionality that is often used in merger and acquisition scenarios. It also facilitates simplified installation using lightweight provisioning agents, with the management of all sync configuration taking place in the cloud. In addition, it offers multiple provisioning agents to simplify high-availability deployments. Azure AD Connect cloud sync is controlled by Microsoft Online services. Locally, only a lightweight agent needs to be deployed, which acts as a bridge between the on-premises AD and Azure AD.

A detailed comparison of features between Azure AD Connect and Azure AD Connect cloud sync can be viewed at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/cloudsync/what-is-cloud-sync#comparison-between-azure-ad-connect-and-cloud-sync.

While Azure AD Connect cloud sync does include some powerful features, it also has some limitations. The most notable one is no support for Exchange hybrid writeback, which prevents many organizations still relying on Exchange on-premises from leveraging this technology.

Note

Federation is becoming less used in favor of pass-through authentication, but it is still important to understand AD FS scenarios.

Next, we will look at the monitoring and troubleshooting methods for Azure AD Connect.
