Azure MFA and Azure MFA Server side by side
Hello!
Please try to avoid deploying the MFA Server. This product will be deprecated in the not to distant future.
Have you considered using the Azure MFA NPS extension? I've recently deployed the extension for Citrix 2FA via Netscaler and it works really well. What workloads are you wanting to use MFA for?

Thanks, that sounds something I will check out more further.
With regards to your Statement. Is there already somewhere a little bit more evidence until when MS will Support MFA Server ?

at least for 2019, the product will not be retired but from time to time Microsoft deprecated some features

My recommendations to you if you're planning for the long run, it will be better to work with Azure AD as your IDP and manage all identity from one place, of course, you can connect many application, local VPN solutions and another environment to Azure AD and work with one identity.
