Azure AD Connect – two popular webinars available to watch on demand
A great many people are keen to learn what’s possible beyond the Azure AD Connect (now Microsoft Entra Connect) wizard, and how to optimize their Microsoft Entra Connect implementation.
We ran a MIM and Azure AD Connect: Two Sides of the Same Coin? webinar in 2018 as a follow up to our Azure AD Connect: Beyond the Wizard webinar. Both sessions attracted hundreds of registrations, and are available to watch on demand. Note: Since the recordings, Microsoft has rebranded Azure AD Connect to Microsoft Entra Connect.
Each webinar included an excellent Q&A session thanks to the large number of great questions that were submitted to our expert panel:
- Andreas Kjellman (formerly MIM and Azure AD Connect Program Manager for Microsoft)
- Jimmy Andersson (MVP Enterprise Mobility)
- James Cowling (CTO, Oxford Computer Group), and there was an excellent Q&A session
MIM and Azure AD Connect: Two Sides of the Same Coin? webinar
This webinar focused on the differences between Azure AD Connect and MIM (including synchronization, configuration, automatic updates, reverse join, soft join, sticky join) – and why they matter. Our expert panel also answered a wide range of questions including…
Any directions on adding custom attributes in AD Connect? Is Global Admin the only role that can configure AAD Connect, or is there any other role? Is setting up another AD Connect running in staging mode the only option to have the backup/DR server ready? What is the best way to handle country code attribute sync? Is it possible to Create Self Service for Attributes in Azure and write them back on premise and, if so, do I have to change something then in AAD Connect?
Azure AD Connect: Beyond the Wizard webinar
Following a presentation of what Azure AD Connect can do beyond the wizard, our expert panel answered over 30 questions including…
Do you recommend configuring AAD Connect to auto-update, or should we perform updates manually? Should updates be done regularly or only as certain needed features are made available? Can you run password hash sync but still use ADFS? What is best practice for backing up custom rules?
