I think that Azure AD is literally built on top of Active Directory. That's what you need to do if your goal is to help your customers, who already usd Active Directory, to seamlessly onboard onto their authentication system.
If you stop and think for a moment, you'd understand that it would be absurd not to do that. You have an army of institutional clients already using AD for everything. Are you going to force them to onboard onto another auth system after convincing them that AD suited all their needs?
Anyhow, they seem to try to distance themselves with their rebranding to Entra.

What do you think is wrong with that?
- greenie_beans 1y agoyes i know the history and excuse me for misnaming, but AD came out in 1998 IIRC whenever i hate-researched it. and it makes perfect sense for a business to do that but it is a terrible engineering platform because of that. what you said was my exact thought process the first time i encountered that tragedy, and that doesn't make it right or good. and now the enterprise businesses waste a lot of money in time spent paying engineers to work with the frakenstein.
- patmorgan23 1y agoIt definitely is built on AD in some form on the backend, just like Exchange Online is built on Exchange, and I believe EXO has its own AD infrastructure for each tenant that you sometimes have to wait for things to replicate to.
