C:\PS> New-QADAzureConfigObject -type 'AzureApplication' -name 'AzureApplication' -DisplayName 'ApplicationDisplayName' -AzureTenantId 'AzureTenantGUID' -AzureAppPermissions 'ApplicationPermission'

Example

Connect to the local Administration Service with the credentials of a specific user, create a new Azure AD tenant and then disconnect:

C:\PS> $pw = read-host "Enter password" -AsSecureString

C:\PS> connect-qadService -service 'localhost' -proxy -ConnectionAccount 'company\administrator' -ConnectionPassword $pw

C:\PS> New-QADAzureConfigObject -type 'AzureApplication' -name 'AzureApplication' -DisplayName 'ApplicationDisplayName' -AzureTenantId 'AzureTenantGUID' -AzureAppPermissions 'ApplicationPermission'

C:\PS> disconnect-qadService

Active Roles Configuration steps to manage Hybrid AD objects

To configure Active Roles to manage Hybrid AD objects, perform the following tasks:

  1. Create an Azure AD tenant.
  2. Create the Azure AD application.
  3. Provide the administrator consent for the Azure AD application.
  4. Enforce the Built-in Policy - Azure - Default Rules to Generate Properties Policy Object to the on-premises Active Directory containers, which are synchronized to Azure AD.

NOTE:

  • After an upgrade the edsvaAzureOffice365Enabled is not available for viewing or editing from Organizational Unit | Advanced Properties or through the management shell command-let, however the organizational unit container continues to be an Azure enabled container as the azure policy is already applied.

For more information on Azure custom policies, see Changes to Azure O365 Policies in Active Roles after 7.4.1.

Deploying Active Roles for AWS Managed Microsoft AD

NOTE: This feature is officially supported starting from Active Roles 8.1.3 SP1 (build 8.1.3.10). It is not supported on Active Roles 8.1.3 (build 8.1.3.2) and earlier versions.

Active Roles supports deployment and configuration in the Amazon cloud to manage AWS Managed Microsoft AD instances hosted via AWS Directory Service.

This allows you to:

  • Perform Active Directory management tasks in your AWS Managed Microsoft AD environment.

  • Synchronize directory data from an on-premises AD environment to AWS Managed Microsoft AD.

  • Synchronize passwords from an on-premises Active Directory to AWS Managed Microsoft AD (with certain limitations).

For more information about the Active Roles features supported with AWS Managed Microsoft AD, see Support for AWS Managed Microsoft AD in the Active Roles Feature Guide.

Supported AWS Managed Microsoft AD deployment configuration

To administer AWS Managed Microsoft AD environments, you must deploy Active Roles into the Amazon cloud in the following configuration:

  • Active Roles must be deployed on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance or instances. For more information, see the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud documentation.

  • The SQL Server required by Active Roles Administration Service must run on a separate Amazon Relational Database Service for Microsoft SQL Server (RDS for SQL Server) instance. For more information, see the Amazon RDS documentation.

  • The Active Directory environment must be hosted in the Amazon cloud via AWS Directory Service. For more information, see the AWS Directory Service documentation.

NOTE: Support for AWS Managed Microsoft AD by Active Roles was tested only in this configuration. Active Roles does not officially support managing AWS Managed Microsoft AD environments in a hybrid deployment, that is using an on-premises Active Roles and/or SQL Server installation and hosting AD via AWS Directory Service.
