How to integrate On-Prem AD with Azure AD

Question

Dear All,

As part of my Azure learning journey, I am working on integrating an on-premises Active Directory (AD) with Azure AD. So far, I have set up an on-prem AD within an Azure VM (for testing) and created test user accounts.

Currently, I am using an Azure Education subscription assigned to my work ID. However, when I sign in, I can see my organization's Azure AD but do not have any access permissions.

My objective is to:

✅ Create a test Azure AD within my Azure Education subscription.

✅ Integrate the on-prem AD with Azure AD to sync users.

✅ Ensure users are successfully added to my Azure Fabric workspace.

Could you please guide me on how to proceed with setting up a test Azure AD under my subscription and configuring synchronization between on-prem AD and Azure AD?

Looking forward to your insights.
