Manage Windows 10 devices with Azure Cloud Active Directory



Many Organizations use “Domain Join”  and connect their PCs to Windows Server in order to manage them better . This is a great feature to manage the PCs in a Local Area Network (LAN). However , we are living in a Cloud Era where many applications are being hosted on the Cloud. The good news is that Windows 10 devices have built in support for Azure Cloud AD so that they directly authenticate to the Cloud based Azure AD .


To know more about how Windows 10 devices can connect to Azure AD and also understand some scenarios where this will be useful, please  click here


 And if you do not have Windows 10 devices but have many Windows 7 or 8.1 based PCs, the good news is that you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free upto July 28, 2016.

Common Hybrid Identity for Cloud and On Premise Applications



With Cloud Services gaining greater acceptance , Companies are moving more applications  from On Premise to the Cloud. One issue this is creating is that it leads to creation of Multiple Identities for every user. The Primary Identity is on the Active Directory which is On Premise. In addition , for every Cloud Service used, an additional User Identity is created .


The good news is that we can have a Common Hybrid Identity for On Premise as well as all Cloud Apps . It is based on Azure .
