Setting up Azure AD Connect

In my demo environment, I have an on-prem DC running. It is operating in the Windows Server 2016 domain and forest functional levels. I would like to integrate it with the Azure AD managed domain we just created. In my setup, the on-prem AD uses the same domain name as the managed domain. In the production environment, you can use the custom domain name option and register the domain under Azure AD before going into the Azure AD Connect configuration.

With the Azure AD Connect configuration, I would like to do the following:

  1. Sync all the users and groups to the Azure AD tenant
  2. Configure Pass-through Authentication
  3. Configure Azure AD Seamless SSO

The first step of the configuration will be to configure Pass-through Authentication agents.
