Hi everyone,
Recently, our server running the Windows Domain Controller (our infrastructure is a hybrid AD) has suddenly stopped working.
Thus, we are looking for a more permanent fix to replace the domain controller with Azure AD. However, we are lost on what we must do to migrate from a system like Azure active directory.
Our domain controller has our domain name and employee details (name/email/passwords/client groups) and we wish to keep them when migrating to Azure AD.
I just wanted to clarify whether is there any way or instructions guiding how to migrate from a virtual machine's domain controller to an Azure AD or a more cloud-based solution.
Thanks, everyone.

When Azure AD DS is deployed, 2 domain controllers are deployed in the backend and access to the VMs of those domain controllers is not provided.
Note: In case of Azure ADDS, you won't have Enterprise administrator privileges, due to which you might not be able to perform all the tasks that you can perform in on-premises AD.
Also, keep in mind that schema extension and geo-distributed deployment is not supported with Azure AD DS.
