How to run Windows Sever in the cloud

Hi All,

So... I've got a company with about 40 staff (all with 365 accounts) and 19 computers running windows 10/11 Pro. They are all joined to Azure AD so anyone can login and I can push config policies and apps etc.

However, we are moving to a new office where there will be about 6 computers and I was looking into getting an physical server to provide more control over devices (and also not have to type in @ our very long domain name every time a user logs in!). We also have a new Access Database which I want to put on a network share so all in the office can use this (it's really difficult to deploy this using purely Sharepoint, unless anyone has any suggestions?).

I have created a Virtual Machine in Azure and running windows server 2022 on this. It's working great and I'm controlling it via RDP. If I run a server in the cloud this way, synced with AAD - how can I join all my devices to this domain seeing as it is a virtual machine... VPN? Or should I invest in a physical server to go on premises and control this from home with a VPN. The devices in the office can be connected via LAN and other ones can stay on Azure AD?

Any advice?

Thanks all!

    Hi Monty,

    It is more effective to ask such questions at Q&A forum https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/index....

    It is oriented to admins and corporate users, and this forum - to home users so local experts may have no corresponding knowledge, sorry.
