Course Overview

The Microsoft course Managing Office 365 Identities and Requirements (20346D) is designed for IT professionals responsible for evaluating, planning, deploying, and operating Office 365 services, particularly focusing on identity management and infrastructure requirements. This course prepares candidates for the Microsoft 70-346 exam, a key step toward earning the MCSA: Office 365 certification. Target roles include Cloud Identity Administrators, Office 365 Administrators, and IT Support Specialists managing hybrid environments. With over 300,000 organizations worldwide now using Microsoft 365, the demand for skilled administrators who can manage identities and ensure seamless integration between on-premises and cloud systems continues to grow across enterprise IT departments.

Students engage with core Microsoft technologies including Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID), Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). The course includes hands-on labs conducted in the Microsoft 365 admin center and Azure portal, where students configure real-world solutions such as directory synchronization using Azure AD Connect (formerly DirSync), implement single sign-on (SSO) via AD FS, and manage user identities and group memberships. A key lab scenario involves setting up a hybrid identity model, synchronizing on-premises Active Directory with Microsoft 365, and assigning licenses to users using both the admin portal and Windows PowerShell, ensuring students gain practical experience in managing cloud identities at scale.

This training provides foundational knowledge for the Microsoft 365 Certified Administrator role, a credential recognized across the IT industry for cloud identity and service management expertise. According to industry salary surveys, certified Microsoft 365 administrators earn between $75,000 and $110,000 annually, depending on experience and location. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official Microsoft courseware, ensuring uninterrupted, instructor-led training. Completing Managing Office 365 Identities and Requirements positions professionals to lead identity deployment projects and advance into cloud security and compliance roles within modern digital enterprises.
