Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) runs some background tasks to keep the managed domain healthy and up-to-date. These tasks include taking backups, applying security updates, and synchronizing data from Azure AD. If there are issues with the Azure AD DS managed domain, these tasks may not successfully run. To review and resolve any issues, you can check the health status of an Azure AD DS managed domain using the Azure portal.

SharePoint Server includes a service to synchronize user profiles. This feature lets user profiles be stored in a central location and accessible across multiple SharePoint sites and farms. To configure the SharePoint Server user profile service, the appropriate permissions must be granted in an Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) managed domain. For more information, see [user profile synchronization in SharePoint Server](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh296982.aspx).

The default password lifetime on an Azure AD Domain Services managed domain is 90 days. This password lifetime is not synchronized with the password lifetime configured in Azure AD. Therefore, you may have a situation where users' passwords expire in your managed domain, but are still valid in Azure AD. In such scenarios, users need to change their password in Azure AD and the new password will synchronize to your managed domain. Additionally, the *password-does-not-expire* and *user-must-change-password-at-next-logon* attributes for user accounts aren't synchronized to your managed domain.
