asked on

Active directory in the cloud?

Hi Experts,

We have 2 servers currently in the cloud not attached to our Active Directory.  We want to start expanding our Active directory to the cloud and start moving our virtuals and others servers out.

What is the best way to do this and can you point me to resources that I can learn about this and figure out the best way for our company?

Thank you,

Karen

We already have another site in another location that is connected through a secure VPN.  We have a domain controller there, it's the president of the company's office.  Couldn't I do the same thing to our other site that is currently not connected?
Yes you can do that any time

However you asked question regarding cloud ?
Maybe I'm confusing the 2. We have two servers in the cloud not connected to our ad. We need to get them on our domain and move a lot if our orther servers out
If you have a legitimate need to get those 2 cloud servers talking with your AD, the cloud AD method is your route.

Thank you Brad and everyone.  I was looking at the cost of Azure and have a lot to figure out.  I'm not sure why at this time they want to move all the servers to the cloud, most likely since we have a lot of external clients, easier to put in one place.  I'd like to add our current cloud servers to our domain and not send our current servers to the cloud without extending active directory, so I have a lot to figure out and have never set this up before so want to do what is best, and also what won't break us.  We are a smaller company.

Thank you so much everyone for your help!
