Microsoft 365 Identity Synchronization and Security

Microsoft 365 Identity Synchronization and Security helps learners develop practical skills for securing identities and synchronizing users between on-premises Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID. You’ll explore password management, password writeback, Conditional Access, pass-through authentication, MFA, passwordless authentication, smart lockout, and security-by-default concepts. The course then covers Microsoft Entra Connect and directory synchronization, including synchronized users and groups, password and device writeback, object filtering, and Microsoft Entra Connect installation. You’ll also compare password hash synchronization, pass-through authentication, and federated authentication while exploring hybrid identity planning, directory preparation, synchronization tools, and Microsoft Entra Connect Health. Through conceptual lessons, guided demonstrations, and practical scenarios, you’ll learn how organizations secure identities, synchronize directories, and manage hybrid identity environments. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to apply authentication, synchronization, and identity-security concepts to real-world Microsoft 365 administration scenarios. The course covers Microsoft Entra authentication, Microsoft Entra Connect, directory synchronization, hybrid identity, MFA, Conditional Access, and security administration, making Intermediate the appropriate level.
