I have a new on-premise server with a fresh Windows Server 2019 install. We have an existing Azure AD that our users use for Office 365 and to log in to their computers which are joined to the Azure. How can I join the server to Azure AD so that users are synced to the on premises server? Specifically, I'd like users to add network shares using their Azure credentials for authentication. I've googled and read through a lot of manuals and I'm trying to avoid creating users on the server and then manually syncing each to Azure. Is there a way to just import and sync the users from Azure to the server or only use Azure for authentication?
Server uses:
Local network storage (users would need to add shares as "network drives" using their user account info)
SQL Server for an local network programs
Also, moving these two services to the cloud is not currently an option.
You can join your Server as a Hybrid Azure AD join and there is no Azure AD join for servers. If you join your machine to Azure AD there is no option to sync the users from Cloud to server.
If you have on-premises environment and Azure AD. You can use a tool called Azure AD connect and sync the users from on-premises to Cloud. There is no direct tool to synchronize the users from Cloud to on-premises.
Hybrid Azure AD join where the machine is joined to both on-premises AD and Azure AD . Kindly check this link for Azure AD join.

I'm in the process of integrating the HR system and Active directory which involves creating new users, updating existing user attributes, and disabling users in AD.
We have an on-premise Active Directory and use the Azure AD Connect to sync the Azure Active directory. We also have a domain controller in Azure VM. I have checked with the (on-premises data gateway - logic app) and (hybrid connection - azure function) both don't support on-premise active directory.
Any idea or workaround will be helpful to connect on-premise active directory or Azure VM domain controller from azure functions/logic apps etc.
You can use PowerShell script to write attributes to the on- premises Active directory. If your HR database is SQL server that can be accessed via PowerShell script.
then sync on-prem AD to AAD
I want to migrate my Organization's Windows Server AD to Azure cloud (Azure Active directory domain services)
I can't seem to find any good documentation from Microsoft.
You can migrate your on-prem physical servers to Azure as per the document
Azure AD Domain services and Azure Active directory services are two different things in Azure.
You will get more details from the document.
we have an Infrastructure for one customer in Azure which require many configurations like MFA with VPN and Remote Desktop (this one is the reason why I'm confused with Azure AD).
The installation should be only in Azure, that's mean there is no local AD which could be synced to it.
I've created an seperated Azure Directory for them and configured an AD DS inside it so I can join the Azure VMs to it.
My problem here is I was asked to configure MFA for remote desktop users along with the VPN connection. The requirement the MFA that I should install an local NPS with MFA Extenstion and the local AD users should be synced with Azure AD. Which in my case it's not possible to do it since there is no local Network for this customer.
This problem as I understood is because that we don't have permissions to administrate Azure AD DS Active Directory and by this we can't register the NPS with MFA Extension with it. here are some Links related to this topic:
Request to Support NPS/RADIUS for Azure AD Domain Services
Integrate Remote Desktop Gateway with Azure MFA
Integrate VPN with Azure MFA
My question here is:
1) the seperated Azure AD for this tenant is a good Idea? Is it not better to just create an Azure AD Domain Services inside our Company Azure AD and sync the required groups to it? what is the best practice for this situation?
2) In order to use the Azure MFA here, what should I do? is there any other option in Azure to implement such a scenario?
I will be glad for any help or explaination.
we have a customer that has office 365 azure AD. we are planning to host our application for them on an azure vm. Our application needs to be domain joined so that the customer can log into the app using there onpremise AD credentials.
how can we accomplish this?
I think you're searching for Azure connect which will integrate your on-premises directories with Azure Active Directory.

Currently AD is in on-premises & Authentication is in place for this Application.
I would like to migrate this ASP.Net application(from on-premises) to Azure VM(IaaS). How this authentication & Authorization of this application can be done when one AD is in On-premises & other AD is not existing in Cloud?
In order to access on-prem resources, you will need to establish a site-to-site VPN between Azure and your on-prem datacenter.
See this link for more information.
The other option is to use ADConnect to sync AD(on-prem) with Azure Active Directory. You would then have to update you application to use Azure Active Directory as an authentication source.
See this link for more information.
Lastly, you could try using Azure AD Domain Services to act as an AD in Azure and keep the authentication the same in your application.
See this link for more information.
