Can we use Azure Active Directory to remove local Domain Controller?
Hi Bryan,
Thank you very much for your quick response.
I wonder with a hyrbrid structure in place, (i.e. part Azure and part on-premise Active Directory) , if there is a way for Azure Active Directory to delete a local (on-premise) Domain Controller?
Please advise.
Thank you very much.
Azure active directory is not a direct replacement for you on premieres AD. If you have no need for some of the traditional features such as GPO's, Azure AD may be a good fit for a replacement. It really depends on what the important features you want to retain. Could you possibly list out the functionality you are looking for? Then I can help list out what might be the best course of action. gough2
Considering the following scenario:
- (1) Site in one country with Local Domain Controller and several remote workers in another country
What is the best Deployment (HA) option using Azure:
- We have an active VM in Azure with an AD connected and synchronized with the Local Domain Controller through a VPN Site-Site connection?
- We have an active VM in Azure with an AD and connected to the local Site through a Site-Site VPN and eliminate the Local Domain Controller?In any of the options:
- How it would be the handling of remote users
