Microsoft 365 Business sessions at Ignite
Hi markoshea. Unfortunately I am not able to attend Ignite but just another question then to you: how did you manage to get a demo (public preview) environment? I need to give a webinar in two weeks on the matter and would like to give a demo on the autopilot. Furthermore I have a question on which Identities are allowed: the documentation that I found refers to Cloud Identity only, is that correct or is hybrid allowed as well?

Hi Mike - synchronised identity is fine, so using AADC shouldn't be a problem. One of the pieces that I think is going to cause some confusion, and hopefully we'll see some updated documentation on it, is the Win 10 Pro/Business upgrade activation requiring AADJ and not AD join, as it's the synchronised/cloud identity that has the license assigned. I've attached the component listing so you can see the breakdown.
I contacted my CSP provider to enable the preview, they just added it to an existing CSP tenant I had and I was up and running. I've got some other random licenses in the tenant as well, but it shows the mix and match story.
