History
Servers:SAD-AUTH01 was built on 5/10/22 to assist in Authentication: Microsoft NPS RADIUS authentication and run the Authentication: Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync agent.
Authentication: Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync is running on this server to enable syncing between on-prem Authentication: Microsoft Active Directory and Authentication: Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync, a component of Cloud: Microsoft Azure.
Finally, the Authentication: Microsoft NPS server role is installed and setup to enable RADIUS authentication to Hardware: SAD-HME-FW01 for Network: Road Warrior VPN to enable a secure connection back to sysadminafterdark networks.
Purpose
Windows Server Desktop was chosen because Authentication: Microsoft Entra ID Connect and Authentication: Microsoft NPS does not support Linux or Windows Server Core. It was easier to run these services from one device and have one point of authentication services in addition to Authentication: Microsoft Active Directory. The following roles and features are running on this server:
