AD in azure

[Uber22]

Hi All

 

I am currently planning out some cloud moves and I have been thinking of moving our AD server to Azure, our data is currently being moved to OneDrive and sharepoint.

 

I just uncertain if anyone has done this and how there back end infrastructure is as well.

 

DO you have AD one site and in azure.

 

Thanks

You'd only need one there if you have old fashioned VMs running in Azure, in which case yeah I'd have it as a seperate site assuming you're keeping a DC on site

 

You should also look at the poorly named Azure AD Domain Services. This allows cloud based VMs to participate in an Active Directory that's synced from your on-prem directory (in much the same way your users are synced). Means you don't have to run a VM or two as a DC.
