ImmutableID – mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid – AADConnect – ADMT – Part 4 – Groups

In earlier posts I talked about ADMT and user accounts. Now a migration is never a full migration if groups are not migrated too. But how Azure AD Connect deals with users and groups is a bit different, certainly when custom anchors are being used. In this post we will be looking at how we…

ImmutableID – mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid – AADConnect – ADMT – part 3b

In part 3a, we explained how ADFS can be used in cross-forest migrations to ensure all users (migrated or not) can still authenticate. In part 3B we will be looking at Pass-Through authentication and how it affects migrated/non-migrated users. First of all, we need to make sure we have pass-through authentication agents deployed. In my…

ImmutableID – mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid – AADConnect – ADMT – part 3a

To continue our coverage of ADMT and AAD, part three of the series. I know I promised 3 articles, but given the amount of data, I’ll split part 3 (authentication) in a few more posts.. We have 1 AAD and 2 AD’s; FORESTOOT.local as the source and TARGET.local is still the target AD forest. There…

ImmutableID – mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid – AADConnect – ADMT – part 2

In our previous post we explored the backend of Azure AD Connect and what happens in multi-forest scenarios. In this post we will be looking into the ADMT migration and the effects on the cloud accounts. The FORESTROOT domain has a user (smith@azureinfra.com) which has been assigned a full E5 license to Office 365. The…

ImmutableID – mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid – AADConnect – ADMT – new series

My posts on the ImmutableID seem to continue attraction from all over the world, and thus, let’s continue the fun. In a new series of posts we will be looking at the influence of the ImmutableID and Cross-Forest Anchor (name given by me, not sure if it is the actual name for it) in an…

ImmutableID – mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid – ADConnect – final part

One of the most looked at topics on this blogpost is the ImmutableID series for Azure AD Connect and AADSync. And I wanted to give an update to this, given the latest versions of Azure AD Connect seemed to have adopted the idea to use the ms-ds-ConsistencyGuid (or any other value) to replace the ImmutableID…

ImmutableID – mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid – ADConnect

The good thing about new software is that bugs and ‘features’ are removed.. the bad is that sometimes what ever you have blogged about makes either no sense, or even worse it only applies half to it from that point on. So as AADSync was replaced by AD Connect, I got emails about the configuration…

ImmutableID – mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid – AADSync

Paul Williams talked in his blog about using another attribute from on-premises Ad’s to act as the ImmutableID for Azure Active Directory (http://blog.msresource.net/2014/03/10/windows-azure-active-directory-connector-part-3-immutable-id/) While making a very detailed blog entry on why and which attribute to choose, there wasn’t a guide on how to make this work in AADSync. [update 21-Aug-2017: The latest version of…
