Hi,

 

From my experience, i would suggest two subscriptions with a AzureAD and a Azure AD Sync from OnPremise Test Domain to the Azure Test Tenant with the Azure Test AAD and also the same for OnPremise Prod Domain to the Azure Prod Tenant with the Azure Prod AAD. This will separate the Domains completely and ramp up a whole test Environment like you have OnPremise. You need to take care of Licences in the Test Environment, as you may have them now only in the Production Tenant.

 

To have only one Tenant with a Test and a Prod Subscription will be good for Cost Management and Resource Management, but you might always run in Problems with the one Azure AD in the Background.

 

Kind Regards, Peter

    Thanks for the information... We will most likely have to go down this route since this will be the safest way to test all the integrations with 3rd party SSO, MFA etc.. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

     

    Thanks,
