    I could buy a server and run AD. I can rent a cloud server and run AD. In that way, you’re correct.

    But what I want to do is buy a local server and run AAD. They won’t let me. Their cloud solutions are an artificial limitation to force us to rent servers rather than license software. It’s another form of vendor lockin.
