About this course
Azure Active Directory (AD), now called Microsoft Entra ID, is a cloud-based identity provider that provides some, but not all, types of services available with an on-premises Microsoft Active Directory deployment. In this course, you will differentiate Azure AD from Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Then, you will explore Azure AD using the Azure portal, the command line interface (CLI), and PowerShell. Next, you will create a new Azure AD tenant and configure administrative units to limit the scope of user and group management. You will configure a custom domain name system (DNS) domain name for the new Azure AD tenant and manage Azure AD applications, users, guest users, and groups using the Azure portal. You will use the CLI and PowerShell to manage Azure AD users and groups and use a bulk import user file to create users. Finally, you will manage Azure AD dynamic groups. This course can be used to prepare for exam AZ-900, Microsoft Azure Fundamentals.
