Azure Active Directory Domain Services
(Azure AD DS) provides managed domain services such as domain join, group policy, LDAP, and Kerberos/NTLM authentication that are fully compatible with Windows Server Active Directory. Azure AD DS simplifies the deployment of virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud by providing a Domain Controller (DC) as a service. There is no need to deploy, manage, and patch your own DCs when using Azure AD DS. You can use the same familiar tools to manage and configure your VMs that you use today.
Azure AD DS is built on Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and provides a cost-effective way to deploy domain controllers in the cloud. Azure AD DS is backed by Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service. This means that you can use your existing Azure AD credentials to sign in to domain-joined VMs, and administer the domain from anywhere using any device.

What is Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AAD DS)?
Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AAD DS) is a cloud-based managed domain service that provides support for domain join, group policy, LDAP, and Kerberos/NTLM authentication. AAD DS is based on Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and uses Azure Active Directory (AAD) as its identity and access management service. This means you can use your existing AAD credentials to sign in to domain-joined VMs and administer the domain from anywhere using any device.
AAD DS provides a cost-effective way to deploy domain controllers in the cloud, without the need to deploy, manage, and patch your own DCs. You can use the same familiar tools to manage and configure your VMs that you use today.
How does AAD DS work?
AAD DS is built on Azure IaaS and uses AAD as its identity and access management service. This means you can use your existing AAD credentials to sign in to domain-joined VMs and administer the domain from anywhere using any device. AAD DS provides managed domain services such as domain join, group policy, LDAP, and Kerberos/NTLM authentication. These services are fully compatible with Windows Server Active Directory. This makes it easy to deploy VMs in the cloud and manage them using familiar tools.

How do I get started with AAD DS?
You can get started with AAD DS by signing up for a free trial or by purchasing a subscription. Once you have a subscription, you can create a new AAD DS instance in the Azure portal. Follow the steps in the “Create a new Azure AD Domain Services instance” section of this article to get started.
If you already have an Azure subscription, you can use your existing credentials to sign in to the Azure portal and create a new AAD DS instance. Follow the steps in the “Create a new Azure AD Domain Services instance” section of this article to get started.
