AD query vs Azure Active Directory

Ryan_Ryan — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 23:04:36 GMT

Hi all,

I know the answer is probably no, but is there anyway we can AD query against Microsoft Azure? We have started deploying autopilot machines which are not domain joined and this is causing issues with identities not getting discovered by the onprem gateways.

TIA

AD Query only works with on-premise Active Directory.
However, with R81 gateways, you can leverage Azure AD as an identity source.
This is covered in the R81 Identity Awareness guide.
