Microsoft CSP providers can log in to their account information of their customers portals. So it makes sense that CloudPortal Services Manager uses that CSP account to synchronize all customers with only one VM. Is this in the pipeline, if not, why?

Yes, better integration with Microsoft CSP partner credentials and the Model Office 365 dealers on our roadmap. For example, if Office 365 into a customer CPSM Provisioning we would the new account in addition to supporting the "bring your own account" model, creating today.

Consolidate Azure AD Connect identity sync requests to a single or less VMs is something that we will continue to evaluate. During this optimization to explore, we must remain aware applications for the toolkit of Microsoft best practices and supports.

Since the AD CloudPortal Services Manager is synchronized to Azure AD, all Outlook setup should have been transparent to the user - why was it not?

During the webinar demo I showed a feature of Exchange Autodiscover called, which presents for the first time the "first experience" for a new user logging in a hosted service. This showed that the same Outlook and Lync / Skype technologies automatically discover which service providers are familiar still with Office 365 mailboxes, and Skype are used.

CPSM helps with that - and by the Exchange function Automatic addition of this equation - the user experience is easy to connect to their mailbox for the first time. This is a unique experience -.

Is Azure AD Connect replaces Citrix AD Sync?

No, it's not. Azure AD Connect helps sync identity of the local Active Directory to Azure AD.

CPSM AD Sync service provider allows customers identity of their Active Directory to synchronize service cloud hosted (managed in a CPSM Active Directory). In a CPSM AD Sync use AD case Azure is not in the picture.

The Office 365 also sounds like a big step, but it is allowed by Microsoft to the Office 365 applications on XenApp deploy desktop?

This is a very common licensing issue when Office 365, RDS, XenApp / XenDesktop and service providers are talking. Please refer to the FAQ section of the licensing of Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus subscription service in Volume Licensing PDF.

Questions about onboarding relatives or remove users

Can a "tenant" to limit a fixed amount of users? Where they can add and remove users, but would only be limited to create a maximum of x-user? Then those users an automatic provision of their services?

CPSM is concerned with the use in the enforcement of "service subscription quotas" to a per-service level. Simply put, you can send a "maximum number of users per service plan" you do not configure subscribed to a service based on the assigned infrastructure, storage or available licenses are to ensure.

Typically, service providers encourage new user creation without limitation - after all, that more subscribers to their service. However, there are also technical aspects such as storage overrunning and associated infrastructure where new service subscriptions to limit (or at least, can throttle up additional capacity to be added) makes sense makes. CPSM can that you manage.

In addition CPSM supports workflow approval, if a service provider or customer administrator provisioning requests before the automation must approve proceeds. This provides cost control for customers and allows service providers to manage infrastructure and memory allocation without enforce on the number of subscribers hard boundaries.

What steps a new customer on board are required which requires a dedicated desktop / VDA in a separate children's domain? Is it possible the provision of machinery catalogs and VDAS cross-domain shared Delivery Controller in the forest root?

no Located automate. This is a very specific question, but it fits in an issue of "automatic or autonomous VDA capacity management". Today, when delivering applications and desktops, app orchestration provides capacity management capabilities. Bringing capacity management capabilities to the CPSM hosted applications and desktops service is something that we look for in our forward-looking roadmap.

It is not likely, we would automate catalog production, but focus subscribed based on the number of users and / or admin intervention within CPSM on scaling capacity delivery group.

Other issues

Yes, supports CPSM mailboxes Subscriber Provisioning with traditional or "on-premise" exchange. Moreover CPSM help on the Exchange multitenant manage, allows for multiple tenants or customers to share a single exchange backend from the service provider hosted.
