Azure AD (Office 365) already has a REST API (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/) so this is really for on-prem Active Directories.

On-prem Active Directory also has AD Web Services (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd391908(v=ws.10...) that I guess you could use instead of this, but a simple rest api like this will be easier to integrate with.

The motivation for the domain check is to see if you are in a sandbox environment, and if you are, don't do anything. If you read the article, he talks about this.

The problem there if I am not mistaken is the CPU Virtualization extensions that can't handle multiple hypervisors using them at the same time.

Great job Ben, the dotnet core team and the asp.net team!
