Which method is used to synchronize on-premises directories with Azure AD?

Azure AD Domain Services
Azure AD Connect
Azure VPN Gateway
Office 365 Connect

The correct answer is: Azure AD Connect

The correct method for synchronizing on-premises directories with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Azure AD Connect. This tool specifically facilitates the synchronization of user identities, group memberships, and credential hashes from on-premises Active Directory to Azure AD. Azure AD Connect is essential for organizations that want to maintain a hybrid identity for their users, allowing them to have a consistent identity across on-premises infrastructure and cloud services. It supports various synchronization scenarios and allows for password synchronization, passthrough authentication, and more, making it a versatile choice for identity management. The other options serve different purposes: Azure AD Domain Services provides managed domain services like domain join and group policy, suitable for running applications without the need for an on-premises domain controller. Azure VPN Gateway is implemented for secure network connectivity between on-premises sites and Azure, not for directory synchronization. Office 365 Connect is not a recognized method for directory synchronization and is generally not used in the context of Azure AD.
