In the previous chapter, we covered the fifth part of the Deploy and Configure Infrastructure objective. We covered how to create connectivity between virtual networks in Azure, as well as how to create and configure VNet peering, how to create and configure VNet-to-VNet, and how to verify network connectivity. Finally, we learned about the differences between VNet peering and VNet-to-VNet.
This chapter covers the sixth part of this objective. In this chapter, we are going to cover how to create and manage users and groups in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). You will learn how to manage this from the Azure portal and how to perform bulk updates inside your Azure AD tenant. You will learn how to configure a self-service password reset for your users in order to reduce user management overhead. By doing so, we will cover conditional access policies. We are also going to cover Azure AD join and how you can manage devices that have been registered or joined in Azure AD. To conclude this chapter, we will add a custom domain to Azure AD.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Understanding Azure AD
- Creating and managing users and groups
- Adding and managing guest accounts
- Performing bulk user updates
- Configuring a self-service password reset
- Understanding conditional access policies
- Working with Azure AD join
- Adding custom domains
