we now have been working our Lively Listing on premises for the area “ouroffice.ourcompany.com” with usernames reminiscent of “baker” and electronic mail addresses like “john.baker@ourbrand.com”. After we began utilizing Workplace365 the licenses have been sure to accunts in an Azure area “ourbrand.com” with electronic mail addresses as usernames reminiscent of “john.baker@ourbrand.com”. The AD area and the Azure area now existed independently for years.

Now we need to improve computer systems to Home windows 10 Enterprise E5 and must assign liceses to machines. This could solely be carried out to machines within the Azure area (was stated by our account supervisor) due to this fact we have to be a part of each domains. How is that this finest carried out?

• we need to hold my on prem infrastructure and be operational offline for a number of hours
• computer systems shall (begin to) use E5 licenses from Azure area
• customers shall (proceed to) use their Workplace 365 licenses from the Azure area and hold their content material (in OneDrive, Groups and so on.)

What’s going to change?

• will usernames for login to computer systems change to Azur usernames or can we hold the on prem ones?

Thanks for any assist!
