Can you install AD Connect instance in Azure without internet connection?
Can you install AD Connect instance in Azure without internet connection? Is there a way to locally communicate with Azure AD in Azure? In the other public cloud provider this is possible.
cloudcrazy yes you can do this by using Express Route, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/expressroute/expressroute-introduction. This works with the gov cloud tenants, but you must get permission to use those tenants
Not all the services go internally with Express Route, especially AD Connect. It does need access to bulk of IPs using the internet.
