Exam AZ-303 Question 51

You plan to install Azure AD Connect and enable SSO.

You need to specify which user to use to enable SSO. The solution must use the principle of least privilege.

Which user should you specify?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

To enable Single Sign-On (SSO) using Azure AD Connect while adhering to the principle of least privilege, you should use a user who is a member of ADSyncAdmins. According to best practices, the user account required for enabling SSO needs administrative permissions related to directory synchronization but does not necessarily need to have full domain administrator privileges. Thus, User3, being a member of ADSyncAdmins, is the most appropriate choice, as this role is specifically tailored for managing directory synchronization tasks without granting excessive permissions.

6/12/2021. Passed the exam. Domain user

answer should be domain user. As of build 1.4.18.0, you can't use an enterprise admin or domain admin account as the Azure AD DS connector account. When you select Use existing account, if you try to enter an enterprise admin account or a domain admin account, you see the following error: "Using an Enterprise or Domain administrator account for your AD forest account is not allowed. Let Azure AD Connect create the account for you or specify a synchronization account with the correct permissions."

Completely irrelevant, question is NOT about service account to use

Answer is A for sure: "By default, only the user who did the installation and local admins are able to manage the installed sync engine. For additional people to be able to access and manage the sync engine, locate the group named ADSyncAdmins on the local server and add them to this group." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-post-installation

But this is not about additional user. You are the 1st user. The other two links say you need to be domain admin. Set up domain administrator credentials: You need to have domain administrator credentials for each Active Directory forest that: From the how-to-connect-sso-quick-start link: You synchronize to Azure AD through Azure AD Connect. Contains users you want to enable for Seamless SSO.

it should be B. domain user. the question asks "You need to specify which user to use to enable SSO", not the user installing AD connect which should be Enterprise Admin. As of build 1.4.18.0, you can't use an enterprise admin or domain admin account as the Azure AD DS connector account. When you select Use existing account, if you try to enter an enterprise admin account or a domain admin account, you see the following error: "Using an Enterprise or Domain administrator account for your AD forest account is not allowed. Let Azure AD Connect create the account for you or specify a synchronization account with the correct permissions."

But the question is not about the user required for sync, but which user is required to 'enable SSO'. And THAT must be Domain Admin (or Enterprise Admin in a multi-domain forest).

i think there is typo it should be Enterprise or Domain administrator account as per below reason :- As of build 1.4.18.0, you can't use an enterprise admin or domain admin account as the Azure AD DS connector account. When you select Use existing account, if you try to enter an enterprise admin account or a domain admin account, you see the following error: "Using an Enterprise or Domain administrator account for your AD forest account is not allowed. Let Azure AD Connect create the account for you or specify a synchronization account with the correct permissions." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-install-custom

Provide domain administrator credentials for each Active Directory forest that: You synchronize to Azure AD through Azure AD Connect. Contains users you want to enable for Seamless SSO. The domain administrator credentials are not stored in Azure AD Connect or in Azure AD. They're used only to enable the feature.
