Microsoft rebrands Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft rebrands Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft announced today that it would change the name of its Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) enterprise identity service to Microsoft Entra ID by the end of the year.
I’m starting to think Microsoft’s marketing department gets incredibly bored lol. Like the time they renamed Lync to Skype for Business.
To be fair Azure Active Directory was a stupid name for a product that only had a passing resemblance to AD proper.
This is informative, and unfortunate.
My exact thoughts were "Why in the world... Just... A name change? Really?"
Sounds about right, people were just getting comfortable with the nomenclature and licensing.
Microsoft needs to focus on finishing preview features and improving stability instead of rebranding and rearranging admin portals… I’m checking the M365 and Azure health dashboard for issues almost daily now!
