The full Azure MFA experience is available with any active directory premium subscription which is included in just about any Office 365 license bundle including enterprise mobility. Such as how you intend to proof up your users, configuring what second factor methods you want to allow, bypassing trusted devices while using Azure AD device registration, app passwords and how to update non-windows devices, single sign-on, conditional access, etc.ģ) Also, is the 'Enterprise Mobility + Security E3' license sufficient for this if I buy one for each user? There is far more involved and planning needed. Do not follow it as it will not get you where you want to go. I don’t particularly understand why it even exists as all it is is a partial clip of the site I linked to above, which obviously shows far more involved. It doesn’t cover setting up ADFS with Server 2012 or Server 2016. That page is a drastic over simplification of what is involved to setup Azure MFA. It is much simpler.Ģ) Can I just configure MFA as described in.? Sever 2016 natively supports Azure MFA and does NOT require the installation or use of Azure MFA Server on premise. My recommendation is to upgrade to ADFS 4.0 on Windows Server 2016 before moving to Azure MFA. I do not have experience with Azure MFA and ADFS 3.0. However, and this is a big however, because you are running ADFS 3.0 you will need to setup Azure MFA Server on-premise. Read here for a guide to what version you need in various scenarios: What you are asking is the difference between what is called ‘MFA Server’ and what is called ‘Azure MFA.’ If all you want to protect is Office 365 resources then all you need is Azure MFA. 1) Do I need to install on-premises multi factor authentication server?
