Microsoft 365 Fundamentals MS-900 Practice Question
A company wants its employees to access Microsoft 365 services using their existing on-premises user credentials. They prefer a solution that avoids deploying additional servers and minimizes complexity. Which method should they implement to meet these requirements?
Create separate cloud-only user accounts
Implement password hash synchronization
Deploy Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
Implementing password hash synchronization allows the company to synchronize users' credential hashes from their on-premises directory to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). This enables users to sign in to Microsoft 365 services with the same usernames and passwords they use on-premises, without the need for extra servers or complex configurations.
Pass-through authentication also permits the use of existing credentials but requires an on-premises agent, adding to the infrastructure and complexity. Deploying Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) involves setting up additional servers and is more complex to manage. Creating cloud-only user accounts would require employees to manage separate credentials, which the company wants to avoid.
