-Run the following PowerShell script in your Entra ID environment that is used by Azure Stack Hub as the "home directory" (the main identity provider of your Azure Stack Hub). The script interacts with Azure, so you don't need to run it on a specific machine. However, you need at least "application administrator" privileges in the respective Entra ID tenant to run the script.
+Run the following PowerShell script in your Entra ID environment that's used by Azure Stack Hub as the *home directory* (the main identity provider of your Azure Stack Hub), as well as the Entra ID environment to which you registered your Azure Stack Hub system. This might be a different directory than your home directory. The script interacts with Azure, so you don't need to run it on a specific machine. However, you need at least **application administrator** privileges in the respective Entra ID tenant to run the script.
