Azure Active Directory (AD, AAD) Tutorial | Identity and Access Management Service

My latest tutorial about basics of Azure Active Directory is here. It is a very powerful identity and access management service that is very well integrated with majority of Microsoft's cloud services. 🎥📽☁👤👥

Whenever you are an application developer, an IT administrator or simply a Microsoft 365, Office 365 or Dynamics CRM subscriber, you can take advantage of all the amazing features that Azure AD provides.

Your energy spent in putting all this together to teach us is highly appreciated. A best alternative to reading the documentation. Thanks a lot.

What an excellent overview - especially the segment at 27 min comparing on-prem vs Azure and how each fits against each other. Thank you so much for this.

Hi Adam, your introduction is great! I like the way you explain what, why, and how. Quite clear and easy to understand. Now I know that Azure AD is the identity provider and access control service in the cloud. I'm a BI project manager for one of Microsoft's partners in China. I'll definitely watch more of your sharing videos of other Azure products. Thanks a lot!

Excellent !!! Would love to see more in depth videos of Azure AD covering its other features. Combination of theory, followed by simple practical is amazing. Please keep uploading more interesting content. I’ve started my AZ-900 and AZ-104 journey with your channel. Your work is truly commendable..!!! God Bless..💫

A technical content should be like this. Short, simple and to-the-point. Amazing content.

First 10 minutes you just swept all the concepts that I learnt in my Masters course. Just brilliant stuff mate 💪

[azurelearningsimplified]

WOW!! I have been braking my head over so many videos to understand these concepts due to which I couldn't appear for AZ-104 exam- thanks much ...

Today I've searched for some material to understand Azure AD better for my current project and I thought how good it would be if Adam had a video about that service - as the best source of the clearest explanations of Azure services.
And now I've just got a notification about this upload :D
Thanks for these crystal clear explanations and high quality content! Cheers

Platinum kudo’s (not golden kudo’s) on how you explain such subject in a simple manner. I’d like to elaborate why. And I definitely think others would agree on this.

It’s inspiring how you explain Azure Active Directory with such clarity. This video is really well structured and the story is crystal-clear. And I saw some nifty presentation tricks. 🤺

I admire the way how you explain things, you convey your story in a very attractive, simple and clear cut way. And as a bonus (result) it motivates me to learn even more. Telling stories is one thing. Tapping into someone’s brain is a whole other game.

Also, you sum up the take-aways. I always ask myself. “What did I learn?”. Hence I really like how you wrap up the session.

Thank you again. The day just started and I already learned something new.

Crisp clear presentation, Adam!! Thanks for the knowledge sharing.

Thank you, Adam! One of the easy and informative videos on Azure AD I came across on YouTube :)

[parteyschulz]

Thank you so much. I´ve learned more in this video, than in 2 years of vocational training.

[jozek]

Thank you for these tutorial videos. It's easier to understand Azure because of these. Hoping more videos will be uploaded for the intermediate and advance topics.

[DerrickThomas]

Thanks for a great video. Even-though a bit dated, it helped me tremendously. I've also subbed to your channel. Great Job Adam!

[eishanr]

what a clear explanation of IAM - Azure AD, Thank you for your efforts :)

[prannoyroy]

Impressive job done explaining the role of Azure AD, Adam! 👏👏

[nitrplyz]

Hi Adam. Thanks for covering the basic understanding of the azure AD. It was very helpful

[floridaman]

Helped me coming from AWS to see how Microsoft plays their game as I'm preparing for AZ-104. Watched some other videos on this and the explanations weren't clear but after this I was able to mess around with it on my own and learn a lot.
