I've spent today setting up a new network in our office. We've got Windows Server 2016 Essentials, and Windows 10 for all the PC's (6 in total). We currently use Office365 and have a Microsoft Azure account although we don't currently use this.
When setting up Windows Server, and connecting it to 'Microsoft Online Services' (for Office365 integration), I noticed it also configured integration with Azure Active Directory. Then, when I installed Windows 10 Pro on the first PC, it gave me the chance to add the PC to Azure Active Directory.
I'm just wondering, what's the benefit of using Azure Active Directory rather than the Active Directory on y Windows Server box?
(I have read a bit on the Microsoft website, but not really any the wiser).
