have you tried looking for some tutorials on Microsoft virtual academy?
 
Active directory can get very complicated very quickly and, when done incorrectly, can fast find you in a whole world of hurt.

Azure active directory was released just over a year ago and introduces its own complications.

I would strongly advise that you take the official Microsoft training courses and, if necessary, be prepared to pay for some consultancy to get you going.

I'm not too familiar with what's happening in the Azure AD space, but I don't think it's possible to connect office PCs to an Azure AD for login and group policy. The domain controller needs to be on the same network and can be federated / replicated from Azure, but the office PCs would need a domain controller on the same network.

That was my understanding, but then I'm also not familiar with Azure AD.

EDIT: Spoke to someone that I know at Microsoft. If (big "if" :)) I explained the requirements correctly this is not yet possible, though it should be at some time in the future.

Spin up a VM in Azure install ADSS then setup a site to site ipsec tunnel this is not too complicated.

The answers are there on Microsoft's virtual academy,

I have a MCS, MCTS, MCSA & MCSE self taught from online books and Microsoft's virtual academy.
