I certainly hope ms will drop the need for ad (in favour of azure ad) - but it's still needed for eg azure virtual desktop (you need a vm running ad - or "azure ad ds"[1] in azure parlance).
A bit frustrating, as you can otherwise join a windows 10 desktop (or vm) to just azure ad for sso etc.

- easton 6y agoThat's still the most bizarre product decision Microsoft has made (to me) in the past 5 years. They are trying to get everyone to Azure and Azure AD, then they launch a product that is basically Citrix but 50% of the cost, with the catch that you need to still have on-prem AD to use it. What?
- merb 6y ago> 50% of the cost well that depends, the higher subscriptions include it for free.
- easton 6y agoI should of been more specific. The higher subscriptions include the licensing, so you just have to pay for compute, vs Citrix where you have to pay for Citrix Licensing, Windows Licensing, and compute.
