Hi all, We have on-prem env and we would like to extend it to azure and replace on-prem in the future. First action is to deploy 2 DC VM. We are not interested of running azure domain services. I would like to ask you guys what is the best practice. I read somewhere that we cannot deploy DC database/logs and that kind of things on C: etc. Where to find that info or if someone know how to: Deploy Domain controller as VM (Best Practice - installation/storage/network) Configure network (These 2 machines will be extension so they will join in current domain) Configure access - I know that we have point-to site and site-to-site but is that necessary in this first phase? We would like to avoid RDP accessing the machines? I really hope that someone can help us with this? Many thanks in advance.

Hi guys, When we create new VM in azure we have option to put that VM in an Availability set or Availability zone. I need to create 2 Domain controller VM's in azure and what is the option to use here. Shall I put 2 VM's in availability zone or availability set?
