Azure DAG for on-premise active directory
Hi Guys,
Traditionally, I understand you need to have an active/active configuration when having DR for on premise active directory to the cloud. Does this change on Azure? Do I still need to provision an active VM to replicate my on-premise AD?
Thanks

DigitalNomad920It's also worth checking out the new Azure AD Cloud Provisioning agent. You can have multiple agents 🙂
- Hi Matthew,
Just has a look through, definitely some good benefits thanks!
- Do you mean a DR setup for you Azure AD Connect?
Two active AAD Connects aren't supported, you can configure one in passive (staging) mode however. Check this out:

However, you should contemplate if it is worth having a back-up with AAD Connect. When the server goes down, the sync stops but O365 is still fully functionalThijs Lecomte Thank you for your response. The information was helpful 🙂
