On-premises deployment based on MIM 2016

MIM 2016 represents Microsoft's on-premises Identity and Access Management solution. MIM 2016 builds the base platform to our on-premises deployment method. With a robust synchronization framework and many interfaces, such as REST, SOAP, LDAP, SQL, PowerShell and file-based, you can harmonize AD identities for synchronization with Azure AD. The MIM 2016 Service provides a dominant workflow component that works state and event-based to solve the Identity and Access Management requirements of your business. With MIM 2016 in place, you benefit from cloud-ready identities, powerful user self-service, and enhanced security.

Now that we've had a quick look at MIM, and the additional available extensions and solutions for preparing and managing the AD objects, we'll proceed with our connection to the Azure AD.
