I’ve got a question about how to Connect to an off-network AD environment. The situation is my company has a subsidiary line-of-business that is not on our network (yet), but we do, obviously, have a connection to their network. We have a Direct Connection to our Enterprise AD environment (on our network) but we are attempting to establish another Direct Connection Source to the AD environment of the subsidiary (off-network).
That’s what I was thinking would be a sure fire way to connect, but would the only option be to deploy a new VA cluster? The only reason I ask is because the AD environments (there’s several) are slated to be consolidated into one Entra ID environment by July, so I don’t know if it’d be worth it to go through the effort of deploying new VA clusters for a few months of direct connection
I think that would be the only secure way to connect to this. Opening Public IP and connecting through it will work but that won’t be a secure way for sure plus you can face latency issues.
