Question 3: Preparing for Pass-Through Authentication (Multiple-Choice)
Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory domain named contoso.local. The domain contains five domain controllers.
Your company purchases Microsoft 365 and creates an Azure AD tenant named contoso.onmicrosoft.com.
You plan to install Azure AD Connect on a member server and implement pass-through authentication.
You need to prepare the environment for the planned implementation of pass-through authentication.

A. From a domain controller install an Authentication Agent

Explanation: Since contoso.local isn’t routable, you need to add a domain like contoso.com and update user UPNs.**
As the local ADDS name is “contoso.local”, we need to make some few steps/prerequisites before being able to set up account synchronization:
-> Add a custom domain name on the Azure AD / MS Entra portal (ex. contoso.com)
-> Add a local UPN suffix at the ADDS Forest level (contoso.com)

Then comes the Azure AD Connect deployment and the PTA configuration.
