Can Azure AD MFA work with on-prem Active Directory? - azure-active-directory

Can Azure AD MFA work with on-prem Active Directory? Our entire infrastructure is Microsoft on-prem solutions (AD, Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, Office, etc). We do have Microsoft 365 Basic which allows us to use the free version of Azure AD. We currently have our AD accounts synchronizing between on-prem and Azure AD. I've got MFA enabled for Azure AD, but it only works when signing into something Azure related. If I sign into an on-prem AD-joined device, it doesn't recognize I have MFA enabled in Azure AD for my user account.

we have two options available.
To trigger Azure MFA on RDP to On-premises VMs or to connect to On-premises VPN etc.The Network Policy Server (NPS) extension for Azure allows customers to safeguard Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) client authentication using Azure's cloud-based Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). this enables secure verification for users attempting to sign in to a Remote Desktop Gateway.

To protect On-premises web applications, such as OWA, SharePoint etc., they need to federate the web applications to ADFS and configure ADFS to use Azure MFA for 2nd factor of authentication. If your organization is federated with Azure AD, you can use Azure Multi-Factor Authentication to secure AD FS resources, both on-premises and in the cloud. reference

Azure AD + B2C, public facing website with enterprise and public users

I want to build a public facing SaaS website. My users will either be:
enterprise customers and I will want them to be able to login with their corporate credentials.
non-enterprise customers. I will want the ability for them to register and use local credentials.
What would the solution look like? I'm thinking:
Use Azure AD and federate with the identity providers of my enterprise customers.
Use Azure B2C for my website, and configure #1 as my identity provider with the ability to create local accounts.
Is this the correct solution?
In your case, you can use Azure AD B2C for both the enterprise and non-enterprise customers
Enterprise customers and I will want them to be able to login with
their corporate credentials
You can use Azure AD B2C policy for the enterprise customers to use their corporate credentials for sign-in and sing-up
This policy uses a multi-tenant Azure AD application and the /common Azure AD endpoint to federate Azure AD B2C with any Microsoft 365 customer in the world
Non-enterprise customers. I will want the ability for them to register
and use local credentials
The users can sign-in and sign-up with their local accounts in the Azure AD B2C
You can refer this use-case provided by Microsoft for more info:

Ad connect - what data from Teams will be missing

My organisation use Active Directory on-premise (windows server 2012). We also use Office 365 E1.
Logins are different. We add accounts independly.
Now we are however are thinking about using Ad Connect, but we have some concerns.
Will we lose any data on Teams after integration?
Will our users be able to access data previously attached to theirs Azure Active Directory account?
How can we match AAD users with on-premise AD. It uses aliases?
Following MS documents should give a head start for your requirement.

Azure Active Directory to new Windows 2019 Server

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.

Can a local/on premises domain Trust Azure AD?

I am not sure this is possible, but can Azure AD be trusted by a local on-premises domain?
I can see plenty of information on extending the local domain into Azure, but my requirement is more of less the reverse of this.
Ideally I would like the local domain to trust Azure AD, but as an alternative
could Azure AD DS be used to extend Azure AD into an Azure AD DS domain and then have a two way trust with the local domain?
I am not sure this is possible, but can Azure AD be trusted by a local
on-premises domain?
As I know, there is no way to make Azure AD be trusted by a local on-premise domain.
Azure AD is used for authentication for Internet-based services such as Office 365 and Azure, as well as much more, including Facebook and thousands of other services that are already federated with Azure AD (which mean they trust Azure AD without you having to do anything other than enable that application or service to be used by your users).
Your on-premises Active Directory can be synced to Azure AD by using Azure AD Connect (including password sync) and federation. This allows users on their corporate assets to log on with their AD account and when they access Internet services, such as Office 365, authentication with Azure AD just happens seamlessly via the federation, allowing access to all the different services that Azure AD is federated with.
Azure AD Domain Services provides managed domain services such as domain join, group policy, LDAP, Kerberos/NTLM authentication that are fully compatible with Windows Server Active Directory. You can consume these domain services without the need for you to deploy, manage, and patch domain controllers in the cloud. Azure AD Domain Services integrates with your existing Azure AD tenant, thus making it possible for users to log in using their corporate credentials.

Is it possible to integrate B2C AD with Azure SQL server

Is it possible to integrate Azure B2C with Azure SQL server for Authentication and Authorizations? Does Azure SQL server also supports B2C or the AD support is for ON-PREMISE supported AD only?
Absolutely, you can use Azure Active Directory Authentication for authentication with your Azure SQL Database , Not Azure AD B2C.
Azure AD B2C is a cloud identity management solution for your web and mobile applications. So, it doesn't support Azure SQL database.
Additional,If you want to use Azure AD or authentication with your Azure SQL Database, you can refer to this document.
