On-Prem Server to Azure AD DS migration
-
Hello,
I'm looking to see if there is a specific video within ITPRO.tv on this specific topic or if anyone can point me in the right direction of the best way on how to go about doing this.
I have landed myself in a situation where I need to migrate about 30 users from a On-Prem Server to Azure AD DS so that way I can manage them on Azure and not on the onprem server (we are getting rid of it). What is the easiest way to go about doing this? I really would not like to outsource this job and can't find any good videos or resources that show how to do this.

What a timely question! Yesterday, we released the first two parts of the AZ-800 instruction. The first course is entitled "Deploy Active Directory for Hybrid Environments", and you need the material in the Hybrid Identities module (Module 5).
What you need is the Azure AD Connect tool. We have several lessons on Azure AD Connect in the Hybrid Identities Module. I suggest watching that entire Module. But we specifically discuss Azure AD Connect starting in the "Examine Azure AD Connect" episode. It is a several step process and will require that you watch multiple episodes. You will need to test your environment to ensure that your accounts will work in Azure, then implement Azure AD Connect, and set up the synchronization (first through a test run and then through a full run).
