A.

You need to select Customize synchronization options to configure Azure AD Connect to sync the Adatum organizational unit (OU).

The question outlines a scenario where Contoso, a consulting company with offices in Montreal, London, and Seattle, has an on-premises Active Directory domain named contoso.com, which is synchronized with their Azure AD tenant named contoso.com using Azure AD Connect. Contoso also has a partnership with Fabrikam, whose users require temporary access to Contoso's SharePoint site. The company has identified various issues that need to be resolved, and it plans to implement a series of changes to meet specific technical requirements.

The technical requirements identified by Contoso include:

  1. All users must be synced from AD DS to the contoso.com Azure AD tenant.
  2. App1 must have a redirect URI pointed to https://contoso.com/auth-response.
  3. License allocation for new users must be assigned automatically based on the location of the user.
  4. Fabrikam users must have access to the marketing department's SharePoint site for a maximum of 90 days.
  5. Administrative actions performed in Azure AD must be audited.
  6. Audit logs must be retained for one year.
  7. The helpdesk administrators must be able to manage licenses for only the users in their respective office.

Based on the technical requirements, none of the options presented in the question directly address all the requirements. However, the closest option is Option A: From the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect wizard, select Customize synchronization options.

Option A, which involves customizing synchronization options in Azure AD Connect, can help to meet several of the technical requirements identified by Contoso, including:

  1. All users must be synced from AD DS to the contoso.com Azure AD tenant.
  2. License allocation for new users must be assigned automatically based on the location of the user.
  3. The helpdesk administrators must be able to manage licenses for only the users in their respective office.

By customizing synchronization options, Contoso can ensure that all users in the Contoso_Resources OU are synced to their Azure AD tenant. Additionally, the company can use filtering rules to automatically assign licenses based on the location of the user. This will allow the helpdesk administrators to manage licenses only for users in their respective offices.

To meet the other technical requirements, Contoso will need to implement additional changes, such as:

  1. App1 must have a redirect URI pointed to https://contoso.com/auth-response. - This will require configuring the redirect URI for App1 in Azure AD.
  2. Fabrikam users must have access to the marketing department's SharePoint site for a maximum of 90 days. - This will require implementing an automated approval workflow for new users in the marketing department and granting access to Fabrikam users for a limited period.
  3. Administrative actions performed in Azure AD must be audited. - This will require configuring auditing in Azure AD and retaining audit logs for one year.

In summary, to meet all the technical requirements identified by Contoso, the company will need to implement a series of changes that go beyond the options presented in the question. However, Option A - customizing synchronization options in Azure AD Connect - is a step in the right direction as it will help to meet several of the technical requirements, including syncing all users, automatically assigning licenses based on user location, and limiting license management to helpdesk administrators in their respective offices.
