I've got an on-premise AD domain and site, and a Azure cloud based site with a Azure cloud based DC on a VM. I have a VPN link to on-premise and Azure network. I planned on installing ADFS in azure VMs, and providing SSO to my Office365 services. The requirement to install Windows Azure DirSync throws me.
Can someone explain why Windows Azure DirSynch is used in all the design examples of building a Windows Azure based DC with Windows Azure based ADFS servers? If I enable ADFS integration into my Office365 domain, why do I need the DirSynch component?
I feel like I'm missing something here.
Thanks,
Frank
