What should you configure to sync on-premises AD with Entra ID?

To sync on-premises Active Directory with Entra ID in the scenario described, you should configure A) Azure AD Connect.

Azure AD Connect is a tool provided by Microsoft to synchronize on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory (which Entra ID is likely based on). By using Azure AD Connect, you can ensure that user accounts and passwords from your on-premises Active Directory are synced with Entra ID, allowing for a seamless and secure login experience for your students using Microsoft 365 services.

By setting up Azure AD Connect, you can also implement additional security measures such as conditional access policies to restrict access during specific hours. These policies can be configured to limit logins to specific times, helping you meet the requirement of limiting access from outside school hours.

This configuration will help streamline user management and enhance security in your school's IT environment. If you need further assistance on setting up Azure AD Connect or implementing additional security measures, feel free to ask for more detailed guidance.
