Do We Need AD DNS or Can We Switch to Azure DNS?
Asked by

I've noticed that Azure Local seems to rely a lot on Active Directory (AD). I'm wondering if we still need to maintain our AD DNS, or if it's possible to transition fully to Azure DNS instead. Keep in mind that our end-user devices are Entra Joined.

There's actually a new deployment option called "AD-less" that lets you use any DNS server you want. So, switching to Azure DNS is definitely on the table! Check it out if you're considering a change.

Just so you know, Active Directory isn't actually dependent on Azure Local. You can maintain your AD DNS if needed, but it's not a requirement to use Azure Local effectively.
TechNinja84: I see, so I guess I have some options!
