asked on

Active Directory replica on a different LAN network

Hi,
I have 2 Active Directory controller (both Window Server 2008 Standard).
They are both physical server, in same LAN network.
My goal is to setup an AD replica on a third (virtual) server, which resides on some cloud provider, for redundancy.
I can arrange some VPN between physical servers and cloud provider.
I mean: the 2 AD controller are 192.168.100.1 and 192.168.100.2
I can setup a routed VPN to cloud provider, with a different netwok, eg. 192.168.200.3
This third server should have Windows Server 2012 os.
How can I manage this?

Thank you

You can use Azure. Setup a site-to-site VPN and build a server as IaaS then promote it to a DC

Hi,
generally all workstations use DHCP to obtain IP in my "physical" environment.
Let's suppose, both physical DC will fail.
How can I handle this? Should I use dhcp-relay on my edge router, pointing to DHCP server on cloud domain controller?
Thank you

Hi Prabhin

ok, workstation will obtain IP from DHCP server on firewall/router.
Will they be able to authenticate on domain, even if both physical DC are down ?
Thank you
