Configure local active directory with Entra ID

Question

I have Office 365 Business basic.

I am having trouble finding tutorials on how to sync my on premise AD with Entra ID for Office 365 access.

What all do I need to do to propagate my Entra ID with my local AD users automatically?

I am new to Entra ID and Office 365.

I do not have any Azure AD subscriptions.

Thanks

Hi @Susan Dodds welcome to Azure! To sync your on-premises Active Directory with Entra ID, you will need to set up Entra Connect. Entra Connect is a tool that allows you to synchronize your on-premises Active Directory with Entra ID, which is the identity provider for Office 365.

Since you don't have an Entra ID subscription, you can sign up for a free trial.

Once you have set up Entra Connect, your on-premises Active Directory users will be automatically synchronized with Entra ID. This will allow your users to access Office 365 using their Entra ID credentials.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.
