Single Sign On to different O365 tenants

Hi everybody,

I have the following situation:

  • Single Active Directory domain (domain.local)
  • 2 Office 365 tenants (domain1.com, domain2.com)
  • 2 ADFS Servers
    • one of them syncing users from one OU1 to domain1.com and handling SSO. Users have UPN Suffix domain1.com in active directory
    • the other one syncing users from OU2 to domain2.com and handling SSO. Users have UPN Suffix domain2.com in active directory

Now the problem is that we have users in each domain which are having mailboxes on both tenants. Currently these users have 2 active directory users. I would like to change this, so the people just need 1 active directory user. Is there any way to accomplish this? I appreciate any input, have been fiddling around with this but can not find a solution on this problem.

Thanks everybody in advance for your time!

BR

    Hi @Christoph Nellis

    Thank you for your post!

    I understand that you are looking for a way to have a single Active Directory user for users who have mailboxes on both of their Office 365 tenants.

    You can migrate mailboxes from one Microsoft 365 or Office 365 organization to another

    If you want collaboration and access to applications across different tenants, while maintaining the organization’s ability to evolve and manage user lifecycles efficiently you can use Cross-tenant synchronization This feature is particularly useful for organizations that own multiple Microsoft Entra tenants and wish to streamline intra-organization cross-tenant application access.

    Also, you can use Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration which allow organizations to securely share their applications and services with external partners and guests.
