Can I use Azure Active Directory to install Exchange locally on a non-domain computer?

Question

我想将我的Exchange和Skype for Business服务从Office 365移出，而只在本地托管它们，但是我想知道是否可以在Azure Active Directory中使用这些服务，因为我不想升级我们的服务器到域。

You can install Exchange to a member server (non-DC) but it requires a valid Active Directory Forest to be available. The member server must be part of a full domain and the administrative accounts installing must have schema update/ enterprise admin roles.

You can create AD servers in Azure and then connect those to 365 if you needed but you wouldn't be able to build random vm's in Azure and not have a dedicated AD. The Azure default directory won't cut it. Is that what you're talking about?
