The Line Between AD and Azure AD! 

Not sure why RU-vid has not recommended me this one! Absolutely awesome explanation!

Great overview of how it works. It's definitly a lot but thanks to your chapters I can always come back if I need a refresher on the topic :)

Been watching your stuff for several years, always great content and well presented. Thanks for continuing to put these out there!

thanks John. Great content, well structured and presented with care. Thought I had this subject matter mastered but refreshed me. I appreciate this channel and your commitment to the Azure Community.

Thank you John for this wonderful overview of AAD and AD. Keep teaching us!

Best explanation I've ever had of the differences between AAD and AD. You have a talent to make sense out of things. Thanks a mil for this!

Honestly I watched this video more of a refresher but John I just wanted to let you know your videos have actually inspired me to create my blog/training videos long term as well. This stuff gives me life, and I really appreciate you taking the immense amount of time to train/enlighten/inspire us.

This is the BEST explanation out there on Azure AD and on-prem AD!! I stumbled upon your channel recently and I must say, it's GOLD!! Thank you for creating such informative videos.

You are a wealth of knowledge and your lectures are an absolute joy to watch! Thank you very much for putting in the effort you put in, you make everything very understandable!

You can really tell the best RU-vid stuff from the worst when the word Great is used so genuinely from so many people. Thank you John. Another fantastic piece of work.

Fantastic video John, you really took a huge, complicated relationship and did a wonderful job of boiling it down to what is important. Amazing stuff.

Awesome video! This provides a clear roadmap to help understand the delineation between the services. Now for a video on decommissioning on site servers and relying only on AAD and AADS, maybe a possible migration approach as well :-) . I may be in the minority as I interact with several clients, but quite a few are ready to dump on-premise servers (and AD) and embrace full cloud. Some still require AD services for a few of their cloud virtualized machines. They've done their diligence in setting up replication to AAD, but since they have the on-prem AD, they have servers that are required to manage accounts (e.g. Aliases for Exchange Online mailboxes for users sourced on premise). Self-managed AD provides some benefits (your variation on option 1), but doesn't feel like a step forward and would still require an exchange management server.

Thank you John! In-between contracts at the moment and thought I'd check in for a quick refresher, as you do.. (Azure do). Top stuff as always sir!

Impressive. Best explanation I’ve heard. Thanks a lot John!

Best AAD/AD/AADDS explanation I’ve seen. Thank you

Thank you very much for this Video, this has cleared a lot of churn about AAD and AD. Presentation is just amazing.

This was great! Really helped clear up several questions I had.

Outstanding explanations John . Thank you!

Keep going back to these brilliant vids

Great stuff John very useful, simple, but lots of content view of AD & AAD - thanks.

Great Video. Clearly explained. Thankyou

Your videos are top notch. keep up the good work.

You did it again.... This is being shown to every single one of my customers....

Great Video thank you for taking the time to make it!

Great. Thank you John. Good and practial overview

This content is leagues above the content I've paid money for

Thank you so much. The answer I was looking for was Intune as a replacement for Group Policy.

John, great video. Keep up the great work.

I can understand for making these videos you are doing very hard work because it's not easy task.Keep it up.

When i get my 305 John i’m seriously gonna owe you a drink! I have no clue if you can see how many hours i’ve spent watching your videos but it’s gotta be 1000s of hours! Appreciate all you do man!

thnks buddy, awesomelly explained

Great Video :) . Was waiting for the same. Thanks again.

This may be from 2 years ago, but it's still a great video for providing insite between AD DS and the now Entra ID. 👍

Brilliant again, thanks John

Great video, thank you John !!

I’m going to make this required reading for all my RBAC Admins in Azure. Thanks John.

You are so energetic and have great presentation skills 👍 super like

Perfect explaination :) , awesome

Look at this content! Even if it is something that I know I like to watch your videos, I always get a few bits here and there. I don't know how you are not an MVP. I will buzz a few friends to referral you.

Generic comment to show my appreciation. Keep winning John!

Thank you for sharing. As an older tech guy, sometimes nicknamed "the legacy guy" at my company as I often try to solve problems using locally existing tech, I find it very helpful to watch your videos covering this modern thing called Azure and AAD. Not sure I'll ever change the way I solve things but with you sharing all of this, at least I can understand now what the younger ones are talking about. For that I am grateful. And please keep the videos at least as long as this one. The tempo is already high. 😵‍💫

Really Great video !!! I was used to your expertise in your IT books, now I see you live ... (Does AAD expand your muscles too ?!!! ;) I'm a good AD expert and an IT Trainer but definitively not a Cloud Expert ... I've been resisting to these new cloud schemes for a while but now In 2021, battle is over ... So thank you so much, John, your video gave me, in less than an hour, a sharp overview of these AD, AAD and Cloud evolutions ... I understand better what skills I should improve as an old IT Trainer to be still good enough to do my job till the end ...

You could easily setup your own paid channel and we would have subscribed it happily. See your magnanimity ,your kind heart, charity you are providing these high quality, every bit full of knowledge free of cost. Really really with bottom of heart Thank You appreciated ❤️🙏💗

Keep doing that man. Thanks!!!!

thanks a lot, for this great content, great presentation.

Thankyou Guru one day i will be humble and teach like you.

1st vid i watched of your channel as an IT pro. You must be lecturing a lot with lots of arm/hand movements to build those kind of python(muscles) wow! LOL. Your technique of teaching is clear and concise thanks for the explanation here :)

Thanks john

Excelent!!!

Very nice and concise walk through of Azure AD and the evolution from on-prem AD. In todays setup, on-prem AD will always be the master in a hybrid setup. For Azure AD Domain Services this is actually the other way around. When do you think Microsoft will make us able to let Azure AD also be the master source for the on-prem AD integration?

Well done!

great video

Good stuff, great content! I have couple of questions maybe you can help with when thinking about option 2 (replicating AAD to a managed AD DS instance). 1. Could you domain join a member server and use the admin tools from there? Group Policies? 2. Can you domain join clients to this domain? (Via s2s vpn to external site) Thanks, always fantastic videos!

If there are no on-premise applications and all the application for a small enterprise is cloud based, then does it makes more sense to be on AAD purely? There will be 40 users and there laptops can be managed by InTune?

Great content, especially found the conditional access section intriguing. Had a question about external identities. If I have 2 tenants, under separate accounts, is there some way to have an AAD group from one domain/tenant be usable as a group in the other domain/tenant? Imagine one is my real tenant and other a test tenant. Basically like external users, but instead external groups (of external users), without having to register each individual external user and keep that list in sync?

Mr.John thanks for great content. I wanna get your opinion, what is the best practice when creating Managed Domain in Azure - using AADDS or AD in IaaS VM? Could you explain?

John, what kind of display you're using to write on ? I am interested to get the similar for my work-station setup. Thank you.

Great Explanation!!! BTW, you seem to be a DC fan...are you?

Hi sir just want to ask do you think there will be an azure admin expert certification since my focus is in the infra thanks!

For the algorithm! 😁

Hi Jonh, I shall be greatfull if you provide solution on : I have two Azure AD . Now need to get attendance report from Azure AD1 to Azure AD2 i.e. person in Azure AD1 who call a meeting and user from Azure AD2 participate that meeting .

John, what is the monitor/pen your using?

Contrast looks a bit high in this video IMO, but great content as usual.

Holy arms!!

Whoever disliked this video should be thrown into the Gulag to fight John 1:1...

John, do you have any paid service to hire you for few hours to help us with a strategy discussions? If yes, how can I contact you ?

I'm a senior systems engineer that has worked for IBM, MS, some of the biggest names in the industry. Is it me or is Johns arms bigger than his head? He must be one of the strongest IT staff in the world. Is John using a fish eye lens?

I think small to midsize business would be quicker to adopt Azure if it was just AD in the cloud. I want my OU's !

John - great video - can I get your whiteboard pic? :)

You present well. I think some of your videos are too long. Up to an hour i don't mind but anything over i have to watch in a couple of takes.

Ur biceps are hindering my view
