Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is now Microsoft Entra ID!

 

Microsoft has renamed Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to Microsoft Entra ID for the following reasons: (1) to communicate the multicloud, multiplatform functionality of the products, (2) to alleviate confusion with Windows Server Active Directory, and (3) to unify the Microsoft Entra product family.

 

No disruptions to service

If you're currently using Azure AD or have previously deployed it in your organizations, you can continue to use the service seamlessly. All existing setups, configurations, and integrations will function as usual without any action required from you.

 

You can still access the familiar Azure AD features through the Azure portal, Microsoft 365 admin center, and the Microsoft Entra admin center.

 

All product features and capabilities remain unchanged. Licensing, terms, service-level agreements, product certifications, support, and pricing remain consistent.
