Hello,

Is it possible to combinate Windows Server 2022 Essentials with Windows Server 2022 External Connector?
I would like to use SQL DB for about 15 internal users only (there is 25 call included in Essentials version) and DB will be used for information system by users and external for e-shop.

Kind regards,
Jiri

    Multi-homing a domain controller will always cause no end to grief for active directory DNS. Better option is to put the VPN (external connection) on a member server of maybe use a VPN appliance.

    Hello there,

    Yes, it is possible but not advisable.

    Windows Server 2022 External Connector License (EC) is considered a CAL Equivalent License and used to provide server access for external users.

    This section discusses the Connector software, the operating systems that are supported by Windows Server Essentials, the prerequisite tasks that must be completed before connecting your computers to the server, and the changes the server makes to the computers when you run the Connector software. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-essentials/use/get-connected-in-windows-server-essentials
