Join Active Directory on a DC VM in azure

I'd like to set up a small lab in Azure. Two vm's, one is the domain controller and the other is the Windows 10 client. Both are in the same subnet IP 10.0.0.1 /24. My problem is , my client can't join the ad on my dc. And the client get always "AD with name ifa.local can't contacted". I've some picture from the window, ip config and dns suffix I added.

Has anyone an idea why it's not working.

Solution

  • You have to make sure Windows 10 VM can reach the DC. Just because there in the same subnet doesn't mean that, you need to update the DNS server on the 'Azure Network interface' for the Windows 10 machine or on the VNet to point to the DC IP.

    That will allow you to join the domain.
