asked on Does AWS have a replacement for Active Directory?
I have a small network that I want to use Dropbox for storage.
I need to be able to centrally authenticate my users and also push out policies like GPO's.
Does AWS have this sort of service?
All my users computers will be on premise, not in the cloud.

Sorry, I should have explained, I do not have an on premise AD server.

Though from what you're asking, it sounds like you would need to establish a VPC with a VPN gateway to your on-prem environment to authenticate that way. Typically for this type of scenario, it's more customary to use an on-prem AD service with an AWS EC2 instance with AD on it, to extend your on-prem environment. The Active Directory service provided by AWS, IMHO is more suited for workloads that are implemented within the AWS structure or within a specific VPC.
Hope this helps,
