Can't get AD sync to Azure going
I want to sync my local AD to Azure. I'm trying to install dirsync on my Server 2012 box, which is a secondary domain controller; some web pages say that's not good. I've found lots of web pages...
Sorry, I should have said that I do not have an Azure account, just an Office 365 account.
But Azure AD Connect fails, see screenshot.
According to Control Panel | Programs and Features dirsync is not installed. But a couple of Azure AD thingies are installed, I'll uninstall them and see what happens then.
FYI, your Office 365 account is stored in Azure AD. It is getting copied from your on-premises AD to Azure AD and then copied again into the directories used by SPO, EXO and SkypeForBusiness
