I know that Office365 and Azure are both Microsoft products. But is Office365 provided on Azure servers? Does Microsoft have a seperate cloud provider / servers for Microsoft and Azure?
I have no reference documentation on this but I once listened to a Microsoft employee who explained that Office 365 is partial built on top of Azure but since Office 365 was built prior to Azure there is still some office 365 legacy that is not running on Azure. MS is however working to remove those parts if they have not already done it.
You can read here to see the updates from Microsoft
In the beginning, Office 365 was a SaaS running on Microsoft's own datacenter. Now Microsoft 365, the new name of office 365, is almost completely transitioning into Azure datacenter.

I have Office 365 for my organisation, with Azure AD.
How can I integrate my office computers (windows10) itself to the Azure AD?
When I want to connect in Windows 10 to my business network
(settings -> make connection to work or school)
After I try to give my e-mail (office 365 account), I got an axtra field for Server address?
Does anyone know what this should be?

I'm not seeing where its asking for a server address to be used. Have you used Azure AD Join? This will make the process of connecting those devices easier.

Office 365 E1 version was required to do this
I understand that Office 365 is on separate domain and live id (Microsoft account) is used for consumer applications.
But can an Office 365 account get live/Microsoft services?
The issue is we trying to SSO Office 365 applications and Azure ML (used with Microsoft account) but as the domains are different I am unable to find any proper help or process on the web.
We can create a live account with our company domain but can we create a federation on Live account ? For e.g. on Office 365 we created a #.com federation and were able to SSO it, how can we do the same with a live account ?
According to the Azure ML pricing page the free tier is standalone, requiring a Live ID. The Standard tier is associated with your Azure subscription, so you use your org IDs.
I’m currently testing the Microsoft Azure and SharePoint 2013 ability.
In our office, we have an Office 365 account, and I have created a Azure 30-days trial subscription. I have connected those two, so our Office 365 users are visible in Azure AD.
We need to install a virtual server with SharePoint installed on it, with access to a SQL server in Azure as well.
Is it possible to use the Azure AD as authentication for SharePoint users?
If possible, we would like to avoid installing an On-premises AD in Azure. We simply need the authentication for our SharePoint users, so we can keep everything in the cloud, without Site to site VPN to our in house AD.
I am aware, that the virtual machine in Azure with Sharepoint on it, will run in a Workgroup, but I have a hard time figuring out, how I can access the Azure AD to lookup users. I don’t know if this is possible.

I have a portal through which I resell different vendor's software licenses. I have a question on Office 365 provisioning and selling user licenses to my clients.
My requirement is as follows:
User should be able to log in through my portal and create their Office 365 user account and choose plans as per their need
Through Single sign on (SSO) activity, I need to get the SSO Url, so Office 365 users already logged in to my portal do not require to log in again to their Office 365 account again
Users can update, cancel their Office 365 user accounts through my portal
I have researched on internet regarding Office 365 provisioning and found following ways to integrate Office 365 client application in my portal
Using ‘https://provisioningapi.microsoftonline.com/ProvisioningWebService.svc?wsdl’ WebService, this WebService has got all required APIs to provision Office 365. could not find any documentation for this WebService on the web. It would be nice if I can get documentation of this webservice.
Using PowerShell Cmdlets. Most blog users suggest this as the best way for provisioning Office 365. I tried this but need a Partner account or Tenant Administrator account who can actually provision users
Am I moving towards the right direction? If I need to test how to provision Office 365 users within my environment can I get any test/dummy tenant administrator/partner user account? It would be nice if you can answer my questions little fast.
If you're interested in reselling Office 365 subscriptions, what you want is probably to become part of the Microsoft Partner Network. There is currently no method to programmatically provision Office 365 accounts (except for -maybe- Microsoft resellers/partners)
If the Office 365 account exists already, you can programmatically provision users, groups, subscriptions, etc., but as you've seen, you either need to be a partner (who provisioned that account in the first place), or a tenant administrator.
As far as programmatic access to Azure Active Diretory (the underlying identity system that Office 365 accounts use), I strongly recommend staying away from the web service you mention (it's simply the web service used by the AAD cmdlets). You can use the PowerShell cmdlets (from .NET code if needed), or even better, the Azure Active Directory Graph API for a web-friendly RESTful interface.
