Help For 2008 server Onpremise to Azure Migration
Hi,
In that case, you can consider below.
1. Create VPN with Azure.
2. Create 1 VM for AD.

3. Create 1 VM for File services & Accounting Software.
4. Configure backup.
You could use Azure File share as network drives but so far Azure files do not have option to restrict access based on permissions. So, a file server should do the job.

You need to have a good & reliable/redundant internet connection for this to work.
I recently joined this company.We have almost 40 users.All are already on Office 365.We use AD for a couple of things.Group policy is one,then Accounting software runs on it.As of now all files on the NAS are accessible to everyone.but I am planning to put permissions on Folders and restrict access to respective departments only. But instead of 1drive and sharepoint ( Both of which we already have but most users prefers the old mapped NAS drive cos it saves them a few clicks) can I allocate storage on Azure and then MAP them as Network Drives?So that people can just use them as they use the local NAS drive.?
