What is Azure AD Connect cloud synchronization?

Aug. 15, 2022

For the nerds among us 😉 this article is interresant, read more about Microsoft AD Connect cloud synchronization

Azure AD Connect cloud synchronization is a new offering from Microsoft designed to meet your hybrid identity goals for synchronizing users, groups and contacts with Azure AD. This is achieved by using the Azure AD setup agent instead of the Azure AD Connect application. However, the agent can be used alongside Azure AD Connect synchronization and offers the following benefits:

Support for synchronizing with an Azure AD tenant from an unconnected Active Directory multi-forest environment: common scenarios include acquisition mergers & (where the AD forests of the acquired company are isolated from the AD forests of the parent company) and companies that have had multiple AD forests in the past.
Simplified installation with lightweight setup agents: The agents act as a bridge from AD to Azure AD, managing all synchronization configuration in the cloud.
Multiple setup agents can be used to simplify high-availability deployments. This is particularly important for organizations using password hash synchronization from AD to Azure AD.
Support for large groups with up to 50,000 members. It is recommended to use only the range filter of the organization unit when synchronizing large groups.

How is Azure AD Connect cloud synchronization different from Azure AD Connect synchronization?

With Azure AD Connect cloud synchronization, setting up AD to Azure AD is partitioned into Microsoft Online Services. An organization only needs to deploy in their on-premises or IaaS-hosted environment, a lightweight agent that acts as a bridge between Azure AD and AD. The setup configuration is stored in Azure AD and managed as part of the service.

Why saving passwords in your browser is not a good idea

The blog post below was created in response to a question during our engineering meeting. Every two weeks, we get together with all of our technical staff to discuss the latest developments in technology or with clients. Good client questions also arise during these meetings, such as this one. Time to do some research. Thank you, Wiebe! You've probably experienced this: you log in to a website, and your browser asks if it should remember your password. Convenient, fast, and you don't have to remember anything. However, there's a risk involved. In practice, we see that many security incidents start with something small. Like saving passwords…

Apple is taking a big step with Apple Business

Apple announced something special this week. Not a new device, but something that might be even more interesting for many organizations: Apple Business. A completely new platform with which Apple brings all its business services together in one environment. And frankly: this is a development that we at Analyst ICT are following with great interest. The problem: fragmented tools and unnecessary complexity Many organizations working with Apple will recognize the problem: Multiple portals (Apple Business Manager, Business Essentials, Connect) Different tools for management, branding, and support Additional costs for basic functionalities such as device management This leads to a lack of clarity and costs time. And…
