How can we add our public domain, for example- nbc.bd.edu to our ADDS?

Question

Kindly help me, I want to add my public domain (nbc.edu.bd) which we can browse from the internet at anywhere to our local ADDS. We have installed windows server 2019. Can we do this? Can an additional domain be added with the local ADDS? If yes, then please share the knowledge.

Hi

the article here describes how to add the domain to Active Directory:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/prepare-a-non-routable-domain-for-directory-synchronization?view=o365-worldwide

This would be used for UPN's that are being synchronized to Azure/Microsoft365 using AzureAD Connect.

However, I would strongly advise against exposing your Active Directory or any part of your internal infrastructure to the Public Internet. Ensure you use Firewalls and place public facing resources in a DMZ with tightly locked down rules where absolutely necessary.
