Add Office 365 Azure Directory into Windows Azure Part 1
In this blog we walk-through adding office 365 AD in your Windows Azure account. Blog is divided in two different parts.

Part 2: Add Office 365 Active Directory into Organization account.
Pre-Requisite:
- Azure Subscription to the Microsoft account (Service Administrator).

Next we need to follow the steps given below to add Office 365 Active directory.
- Login to azure account using Microsoft account.
- Navigate to Active Directory and click on new button.
- Select “use existing directory” option because we are adding office 365 Active directory.
- Now sign-in with your office 365 user (Global admin).
Above process is little bit tedious because user need to sign-in and sign-out frequently.

- Add Azure subscription to Active directory.
Select your AD from dropdown.
