Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question

You need to explain to a colleague how Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) differs from on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Which statement correctly describes a key structural difference between the two directory services?

  • Azure AD always relies on on-premises domain controllers for every sign-in, so it cannot operate independently in the cloud.

  • AD DS organizes objects in hierarchical forests, domains, and organizational units, whereas Azure AD provides a flat, cloud-based directory in which all users and groups reside at the tenant level.

  • Azure AD authenticates users only with Kerberos tickets, while AD DS supports modern protocols such as OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.

  • AD DS natively supports multiple tenants within a single forest, but each Azure AD directory can host only one tenant.
