Hi Guys,
Could use your help. Hoping you can shed some light.
We are using Windows Server 2016 AD on premise, and Azure/O365 in the cloud. All of our users connect via Windows 10 using RDC onto a virtual profile. All of our users are aligned on the 2016 server AD to the Azure/O365 user profiles where the Primary user logon's are the same.
We want to be able to write back the password from Azure to Windows Server 1016 with single sign on making Azure the primary password manager or place of reset. If MFA is enabled on all of our Azure users,
(1) Wondering what the behavior is like when users login with RDC onto the on premise where Azure is now the primary password having overwritten the on premise password?
(2) What if the virtual instance or profile per user is on 2012 and not 2016/2019? - our AD Server is on 2016
Regards,
D

    Hi AndyDavid,

    Thanks for coming back, appreciate your reply and knowledge.

    Another Question:
    When users use RDC to logon from Windows 10 to on premise or 2012 virtual instance, will they be prompted to 2FA because MFA is enabled in Azure? - does MFA automatically get adopted into the Remote Desktop Connection login
