Hello, and welcome to Pluralsight. Welcome to this module
called Implement and Manage Hybrid Identities.
My name is Tim Warner.
Indeed, we have quite a few exam AZ‑800 skills to cover in this lesson,
and I'm going to do so in a highly efficient manner.
Let me just give you the rundown here.
This module is about learning to implement Azure AD Connect to support
hybrid identity between your local Active Directory domains and your
Azure virtual networks and Azure resources.
You'll learn about Azure AD Connect synchronization, and we'll
compare and contrast the original Azure AD Connect engine with cloud
sync. That's the latest vanguard of the product. We'll integrate
Azure AD, Azure AD DS, and AD DS.
A lot of acronyms there, for sure.
We will manage Azure AD Connect Health,
manage authentication in both on‑premises and hybrid
environments, and configure and manage AD DS passwords.
A lot to do, so let's get right to it.
We're in the midst of our course, Deploy and Manage
Active Directory Domain Services.
There are five modules in this course, and it's part of our skills
path to cover every objective on exam AZ‑800.
The first course dealt with domain controllers and getting our
sea legs with Active Directory Domain Services.
Second module was about forest environments. This was
replication sites and services, trusts.
Third module was on security principles,
mostly user and group design and implementation.
Now we're doing hybrid identity. The final module in the course is on Group Policy. Let's proceed.
