Charles, Windows Intune is a management solution, but does not offer, today (no, this is not a forward announcement), the ability to offer AD federation capabilities.

For Windows Intune the customer does not need to manage identity as the Windows Intune client install includes a certificate that is unique to your subscription for the service, so the user never needs to sign in.

If that was not what you were after, let me know.

This would be for MS Dynamics on-premise (not the online version). The question is a client has no PDC, so no AD, what solution is there to keep it all cloud based for InTune, etc. and Dynamics is off in a data center. So sounds like there is no way to not have an AD sitting somewhere... Bummer.

Charles,

Windows Intune does not provide an alternative to AD today - I don't know if it will, so this is not a pre-announcement.

Which CRM package are you looking at?

Thanks

For customers that don't have AD and are using InTune, is there a way to do single sign on with CRM On-premise?
