I'm using ADCS. The conversation about moving off on-prem AD has begun. I'm the primary responsible for AD. I began looking at this in January 2019 but it's only recently that it seems to be viable. The VPN is pulse.

What are you doing with certificates, are you using ADCS certs or doing something with LetsEncrypt or going self signed route? Our company has removed ADCS in prep for removing on-premmice AD altogether (interesting decision imho). In terms of the proxy server and VPN what are you using for these? Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Darragh Ó Héiligh <d@digitaldarragh.com> Sent: 05 July 2020 13:53 To: Mailing list for blind system administrators <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Azure Virtual Machines and JFW Yes. PowerShell remoting via HTTPS. I have a proxy server set up that requires a VPN connection to gain access to it for additional security. For servers in the same trust domain, the invoke command for short blocks is also fine. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson <andrew@hodgson.io> Sent: Sunday 5 July 2020 1:43 p.m. To: Mailing list for blind system administrators <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Azure Virtual Machines and JFW Hi, I will be using PowerShell mostly in this environment as well as a few commands, the main reason I need to do this on another VM is I will be running SQL backups (using dacpacs) and moving them around to Azure SQL. If I did this on my machine I would end up having to download the files (over 100GB each) for manipulation. When using PowerShell are you using PS Remoteing via HTTPS or something else?

I would frequently get out of memory errors especially when server manager opened. I think that was the A1. I have never had a problem with the D series. I'm trying to encourage PowerShell and server core at the moment. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson <andrew@hodgson.io> Sent: Sunday 5 July 2020 11:18 a.m. To: Mailing list for blind system administrators <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Azure Virtual Machines and JFW Hi, I need to do some heavy lifting with DB migrations in a few weeks and I want to run this on a VM in Azure using JFW with RDP. I haven't done this in a while as any Windows VM stuff I run uses DSC and outputs data out elsewhere or I can just test the web services etc without logging onto the box at all. When I last did this I had trouble starting JFW on some of the VMs and when contacting Sight and Sound (UK dealer) about this they believed the issue was because of lack of video RAM on the cheaper VMs. Does anyone have any VM SKU they know JFW runs on ok? I will be keeping the VM stopped in most instances to reduce cost. Thanks.
