Azure AD Connect is the replacement for DirSync and Azure AD Sync, and it in simple terms allows you to integrate your on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory, keeping both directories in sync with each other. This enables you to provide identities that are consistent across your on-premises services, and services in the cloud such as Office 365, or other SaaS applications without the need for separate logon credentials to private and public cloud resources.

Active Directory user computer name caching in XenDesktop

This ensures queries of Active Directory users and computers that are associated with the XenDesktop farm are quick and do not need to go across to Domain Controllers for such information.
