Windows 10: Laptop: AD Joined PC from On-prem DC to DC in Azure.

Hello team,We have 2 DCs on prem and we are planning to move the DC to Azure. These DC are physical devices, running on old hardware and will be decommissioned I understand that I have to have S2S to connect to On-prem DC and sync AD and all.My concerns: - Will my device still be active if I move my DC to Azure?- Do I need any special setup like VPN to connect to DC in Azure- Does it break anything on my devices.- Do I have to rejoin my machines to Domain again?Any assistance is highly appreciated.Thanks and regards

Azure AD Banned Password List without On-Prem Agent

Hi All,

I am considering enabling banned password list for our Azure AD in our hybrid environment and want to ask, how doing that will affect our environment if we do not install the on-prem DC agent, as our on-prem does not meet minimum requirements.

Which password resets and changes will be validated through banned password list and which will not?

Will 'noncompliant' passwords synced from on-prem to Azure AD be causing issues?

TIA,

W

 

Disconnecting on prem AD and then joining Azure AD creates new Windows profile?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about joining computers in my firm from on prem AD to Azure AD. When someone new arrives at our firm (new employee), there is a fresh installation of Windows 10. It is easy to join Azure AD
because it is a fresh start, but now we have to migrate all Windows 10 users that are on prem AD to Azure AD. When I disconnect those users from our local on prem AD and join them to Azure AD, whole new Windows 10 profile is created, without any of settings,
data or anything else on that profile (clean profile with few applications that are installed computer-wide). So my question is, is there any solution to keep their profile settings from before they joined Azure AD? Or I will have to simply tell them to backup
everything (essential data).

What I tried so far:

• Tried tools for migration like ForensiT (User Profile Wizard, User Profile Manager and Transwiz, just to see if it is going to work) - not successful
• Tried changing profile path from registry - not successful
• Tried log in with the old credentials example: CONTOSO\user (because after I joined that computer to Azure AD user should log in as *** Email address is removed for privacy ***) - not successful

Is there anything else I can try? Thanks for your answers.

 

AD Connect Sync / On-prem DC can't boot (VM)

Hi, We are currently experiencing a problem with our Virtual Machine that is not booting up; this is the Domain Controller, and it is deployed with the Azure AD Connect Sync agent. We only have one DC, and there is no backup for the VM. What are your recommendations and best practices for re-syncing our DC? Is it a good idea to start a new VM?
