Microsoft 365 Fundamentals MS-900 Practice Question

Implementing password hash synchronization allows the company to synchronize users' credential hashes from their on-premises directory to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). This enables users to sign in to Microsoft 365 services with the same usernames and passwords they use on-premises, without the need for extra servers or complex configurations.

Pass-through authentication also permits the use of existing credentials but requires an on-premises agent, adding to the infrastructure and complexity. Deploying Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) involves setting up additional servers and is more complex to manage. Creating cloud-only user accounts would require employees to manage separate credentials, which the company wants to avoid.
