Technical requirements and lab setup

To successfully follow along and complete tasks and exercises throughout this book, you will need to first gain access to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. Establishing this access can be accomplished by getting a trial subscription of Microsoft 365. Advanced topics throughout this book will require an Azure AD Premium license and may require the purchase of features or services in a Microsoft Azure pay-as-you-go subscription to complete the exercises.

In addition, you will need to establish a Hyper-V lab. This can be accomplished by ensuring your desktop/laptop meets the Hyper-V system requirements, as well as completing setup and configuration for the device. The detailed steps to establish both the Microsoft 365 trial subscription and the Hyper-V lab requirements will be covered later in this chapter.
