Missing "Add" button for AAD tenant

Question

Working as per this article to merge my development MSDN office 365 account and an existing AAD tenant.

As per this article: Integrate Office 365 APIs Preview by using common consent framework

and this section "Associate an existing Azure subscription with an Office 365 tenant"

and then :

1. "Choose the Active Directory node, then choose the Directory tab and, at the bottom of the screen, choose Add".

The problem is that there is no "Add" button in any of my tenants.

The only button I have is "Delete".

I have a "New" button but that's a different workflow.

How do I get this button to appear?

Hi nzpcmad1,

I have recently described scenario you are looking for - how to integrate (add) your current O365 subscription to your Azure subscription. Please refer to section "Scenario B: I already have both Office 365 and Microsoft Azure but they are separated" of article http://kazmierczak.eu/itblog/2014/08/21/azure-rms-templates-2-subscription-scenarios/

Hi,

I'm afraid the 'ADD' button is not present. However, to associate your office 365 account with your Windows Azure Active Directory account, you could follow the steps below:

1. Choose the Active Directory node, then choose the Directory tab and, at the bottom of the screen, choose NEW+.
2. Select App Services > Active Directory > Directory > Custom Create.
3. Select Use Existing Directory.
4. When you click on the ‘Tick’ you will be signed out of Windows Azure Subscription and presented with the Microsoft Portal Login Page. At this point you need to type in your Office 365 Global Administrator Credentials Example: HYPERLINK "mailto:[e-mail]"[e-mail].

You could follow the  article from this point onwards.

On the "Custom Create" screen, I have:

Name / Domain Name / Country or Region.

There is NO "Use Existing Directory" option?

 

Answer 4

This happened because you are logged as an Administrator (Service Administrator or Co-Administrator) of that Azure AD tenant you have created with your Azure subscription. So once you are logged in with so called Organizational Account your "Use Exisiting Directory" option is missing. You need some account that is independent to (in other words: hasn't been created in) Azure Tenants. This account that can be used is any Microsoft Account (formely known as Windows Live ID). So to have "Use Exisitng Directory" option enabled, follow these steps:

1. Login as with your current Microsoft Azure Administrator
2. On the left panel go to Settings, choose Administrators
3. Click Add and type your Microsoft Account email address and Assign your Azure Subscription
4. Logoff
5. Login using provided Microsoft Account
6. You may need to wait up to 2-3 minutes before Active Directory shows up - try to refresh the page after few seconds
7. Once you can see Active Directory you can follow the procedure described below to integrate another Azure AD Directory
- Go to the Active Directory, choose NEW+.
- You will have automatically selected App Services, Active Directory. Choose Directory, Custom Create.
- Now you should be able to select Use Existing Directory.
