Role: Azure Administrator
Location: Santa Ana, CA (ONSITE)
Must-Have Experience in at Least One of the Following Scenarios:
Active Directory Forest Trust with Entra Connect Sync
Establishing a bidirectional forest trust between two AD forests.
Synchronizing both forests to a single Entra tenant using Microsoft Entra Connect Sync.
Enabling cross-forest authentication for Entra-integrated and AD-integrated apps.
Requires TCP/IP network connectivity between domains and domain controllers.
Ideal for legacy AD-integrated apps that require cross-forest access.
Synchronizing Both Forests via a Single Entra Connect
Using a single Entra Connect server to sync objects from both forests to one tenant, without a forest trust.
Enabling authentication for Entra-integrated apps but restricting AD-integrated app access between forests.
Requires network access between the Entra Connect server and both domain controllers.
Suitable when cross-forest AD app access is not needed.
Entra Connect Cloud Sync for a Secondary Forest
Utilizing Cloud Sync (lightweight agent) for the secondary forest while keeping the primary Entra Connect setup.
Synchronization without full AD connectivity, ideal for geographically distributed networks.
Supports hybrid environments, where one forest operates in a cloud-centric model.
