Hey everyone! I have a Windows Server Active Directory VM set up in Azure, and I'm curious about how to connect PCs from my local network to this AD domain. Is using a site-to-site VPN the only option? I've been doing some research but haven't found much information on this, probably because English isn't my first language. If a VPN is necessary, does anyone have resources or guides for setting up the VPN? Your help would mean a lot!

You could actually consider joining the PCs to Intune instead of going through the hassle of setting up VPNs.
Definitely, a site-to-site VPN is necessary, plus you'll want to make sure your client PCs are using DNS from your Active Directory domain controller. Keep in mind this could increase your Azure costs, but maybe not as much as you think!
Yeah, real Active Directory does need a direct connection. I'm just curious, what's your reason for wanting to stick with AD?
Thanks for the clarification on the DNS part!
