I've registered an application (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) in Microsoft Azure AD to be able to work with MS Graph API for creating the groups and teams programmatically. Now I'm able to call the MS Graph API and create the groups. The issue I'm having right now is I have a naming policy like this <Department> - <Group name> in Azure AD and as I call the MS Graph API with the application identity and as I don't have any department for my app, the department part is always empty. I would like to know if there is a way to set department or other attributes for the app in Azure AD?
Thank you in advance!
There is no option to add attribute for the app in azure ad.

We need to move users from an on-premise Active Directory on Windows Server (not Azure Active Directory) to Azure AD B2C. But, we're having difficulty in trying to figure out how to read the user data from the AD using Azure products.
We're thinking about using one of the following Azure products to read from on-premise AD, but it's surprisingly difficult to find if this is possible or not, much less how to do it:
Azure Data Factory
Azure Logic App
Microsoft Power Platform Dataverse (formerly Common Data Service)
Power BI Data Flows
Note: We can't use Azure AD Connect to migrate the users because that tool isn't designed to work with B2C. Reference Microsoft's Azure AD B2C: Frequently asked questions (FAQ).
The Microsoft article Migrate users to Azure AD B2C says that a script needs to be written that uses the Microsoft Graph API to create user accounts in Azure AD B2C. But the article doesn't give advice on how to access the source data, which in our case is AD.
There is no out-of-box Azure product/solution that connects to on-prem AD. Maybe there is a way which requires you create custom connector and custom API for querying AD users. See this post.
The quickest way is using PowerShell cmdlet Get-ADUser to export the AD users and then import them into Azure B2C via Microsoft Graph Create User.
Hello and thank you for reading.
We have Office 365 users and licenses and have recently moved into Azure. We want to connect these together.
I have created a domain controller but am unsure on how to add our existing domain in.
I have tried Azure AD Connect but it asks for 'AD Domain Services administrator', which we do not have. We have no on-premise AD at all, we want to start fresh in the cloud.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
If you have Office 365 license then you will have Azure Active directory services by default.
If you don't have any on-premises domain then there is no need for Azure AD connect.
Azure AD connect is used to sync the users from on-prem AD to Azure AD.
In order to add and register your existing domain in Azure , please follow this article (domain controller is not needed)
we have been using office 365 E3 for the past number of years. we would like to configure a windows 2019 essentials server locally for file storage and a few shared applications (ie quickbooks multi-user).
is there a process to pull the user information from azure active directory to the local server? any advice is greatly appreciated.
thank you!!
If my understanding is correct, you really want is to be able to grant admin rights to your Azure AD users and allow them to login to the server with their regular Azure AD credentials.
If yes, then most optimum way of doing is to have on prem AD and have you user synced up from Azure AD to local AD. Azure AD Connect comes pretty handy in this scenario.
You can also take a look at Azure AD DS, Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) provides managed domain services such as domain join, group policy, lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), and Kerberos / NTLM authentication that is fully compatible with Windows Server Active Directory. You use these domain services without the need to deploy, manage, and patch domain controllers in the cloud. Azure AD DS integrates with your existing Azure AD tenant, which makes it possible for users to sign in using their existing credentials.

How can I view the Azure Active Directory schema.
Does Microsoft provides any document for Azure AD schema(similar to this)?
I want to view all attributes of the User and Group in Azure AD with description. Similar document for Active Directory Domain Services is Active Directory Schema
I am currently exploring the Azure AD Graph API and Microsoft Graph. I want to understand the difference between Active Directory Domain Services and Azure Active Directory with their attributes.
Also, does Azure AD has USNChanged attribute?
Here is User in Azure AD Graph: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ad/graph/api/entity-and-complex-type-reference#user-entity
And here is User in Microsoft Graph: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/resources/user
You can find the other entities like Group quite easily from there.
How do I migrate an existing OU-structure from the old AD to the new Azure AD?
I have been trying to configure the Azure AD Connector Synchronization Tool for this but without success. Not sure what configuration it is supposed to have.
Anyone know? Thanks.
Do you mean the “old AD” is on-premise AD? In some ways, Windows Azure AD is an extension of the on-premise Active Directory, but not all features available in Azure AD. Azure AD does have a domain name, it does contain users and groups. It contains Service Principals, like on-premise AD, that represent applications. But there is no tree of domains, no trusts between domains or forests. Indeed there are no forests, no Group Policy, no OUs.
If you want to create OU, please try Azure AD Domain Services which supports to create custom Organizational Units and group policy in some limited way.
