My apologies if this should be in a different subreddit, but I figure after looking this would be the best place.

I do IT work freelance for a very small firm with now 2 employees, and 2 laptops. They're growing though... kind of fast. Needless to say I want to make sure I get ahead of the curve as much as possible without having to re-invent the wheel in a few years when they have more people. I still have to have another job right now, so as much as I'd like to be able to jump in my car and drive over to their office every time they need something, I'd like to limit that as much as possible. I've already done what I can with setting up Remote Access and the ability to remote into their computers on the fly from any other PC when they get into trouble, but I'd like to explore more Cloud-based management. Problem is finding things that are cost-effective for them right now is difficult.

Anyone have any experience though with Azure AD and/or Intune? Any issues with setup and configuration? Resetting passwords for user's machines in the cloud? What I have been able to research in their whitepapers this seems like the best way to go, giving them AD without having to setup a local server. They don't have the space for it, or really the need for it. Everything else is already in the cloud with Google Apps.

The big question is right now with Azure AD they really would only need the Free edition, but I can't seem to find any place to get them signed up for JUST that. Anyone have experience with this, and is it even possible?

Any experience information with Intune/Azure AD is much appreciated.

Thanks!
