Hi,
Just came across Azure AD Connect: http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2015/03/24/azure-ad-connect-preview-2-is-available.aspx
Is this replacing both DirSync and Azure AD Sync?
How does this fit into the picture?
Thanks,
SK

Hello,
thats correct AADConnect is a replacement for DirSync and AADSync.
And even a replacement for the WAAD Connector for FIM as this one will no get any updates and you should normally not use it for new deployments.
All new and future features will be implemented to AADConnect.
Current/New architecture is to use AADConnect for all Sync in the Bridge On-Prem<>Cloud and FIM/MIM will do all the On-Prem synchronization.

Thanks Peter, so:
Hi,
yes it is based on the synchronization engine, as you can see if you start the Synchronization Manager, it looks like FIM Sync.
No it does not handle licenses currently.
I think there will be shortly some improvement in Azure or SyncEngine to cover this issue.
