Microsoft 365 Administrator — Question 269

Your network contains two on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forests named contoso.com and fabrikam.com that are connected by using a forest trust.

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.

You need to sync a subset of users from both forests to Microsoft Entra. The solution must support device objects and device writeback.

What should you use?

Answer options

• A. Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync
• B. Microsoft Entra Domain Services
• C. Microsoft Entra Connect Sync
• D. Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Microsoft Entra Connect Sync, as it is specifically designed to synchronize users and support device objects and device writeback from on-premises AD DS forests to Microsoft Entra. Options A and B do not provide the necessary functionality for device writeback, while option D, AD FS, is focused on authentication rather than synchronization of user accounts.
