Hello,
Is it possible to manage Windows Server 2019/2022 using Configuration Manager which are not joined to AD domain (i.e. standalone servers) ?
If yes, whether these servers can be managed by ConfigMgr over internet? Came across below article which talks about 2 options, but are these options supported for Server OS as well?

Thanks

Hi @Anjana R ,
In theory, it could be manage Windows Server 2019/2022 using Configuration Manager which are not joined to AD domain, as our mentioned, it is recommended to use CMG firstly, and then IBCM, here is the detailed information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/clients/manage/plan-internet-based-client-management
However, as we know, SCCM belongs to the kind of on-premises, if we use CMG or IBCM, it is harder to push client or deploy application and etc. In this situation, it is better to use Intune to manage the client.

Thanks @Amandayou-MSFT
But I think with Intune we can't manage Server OS and is supported for client OS like Windows 10 or MacOS and mobile devices. Isn't that correct?
Yes, that is correct. I think @Amandayou-MSFT missed the Windows Server statement.
Ultimately, there is no Windows OS restriction for either CMG or IBCM and ConfigMgr will happily manage them. macOS cannot be managed using a CMG or IBCM though, only Windows endpoints.
I also wouldn't characterize use IBCM or CMG "harder" in any way as long as you have a way of delivering a client auth certificate (for the server endpoints) and a way to install the client agent, management is identical to intranet connected endpoints.
@Jason Sandys - Thanks for the update.
It will look at both CMG and IBCM in detail and also check on deployment options for the client auth certificate and agents to server endpoints.
