Active Roles Management Shell enables you to perform the following configuration tasks to manage Hybrid AD:
Use the Active Roles Management Shell to add an Azure AD tenant. To do so, run the New-QADAzureConfigObject cmdlet on the Management Shell interface.
New-QADAzureConfigObject lets you add an Azure AD tenant to Active Directory.
Use New-QADAzureConfigObject to add an Azure AD tenant using the tenant ID provided by Microsoft for the default tenant (created at the time of the Microsoft Azure subscription).
New-QADAzureConfigObject -type 'AzureTenant' -name 'Azuretenantname' -AzureTenantId 'AzureTenantGUID' -AzureTenantDescription 'AzureTenantDescription' -AzureAdminUserID 'AzureGlobalAdminUserID' -AzureAdminPassword 'AzureGlobalIDPassword' -AzureADTenantType 'AzureTenantType'

See the following use cases for examples on how to use this cmdlet.
To create a new Azure AD tenant with a locally logged on user
Connect to any available domain controller with the credentials of your local user.
Create a new Azure AD tenant with the following New-QADAzureConfigObject cmdlet:
C:\PS> New-QADAzureConfigObject -type 'AzureTenant' -name 'CompanyAzuretenant' -AzureTenantId 'CompanyAzureTenantID' -AzureTenantDescription 'Azure tenant for Company' -AzureAdminUserID 'AzureAdminUser1' -AzureAdminPassword 'AzureAdminPassword1’ -AzureADTenantType 'AzureTenantType'
To create a new Azure AD tenant with a specific user and then disconnect
Connect to any available domain controller:
C:\PS> $pw = read-host "Enter password" -AsSecureString
Connect to the local Administration Service with a specific user of your choice:
C:\PS> connect-qadService -service 'localhost' -proxy -ConnectionAccount 'company\administrator' -ConnectionPassword $pw
