My current Domain Lab infrastructure <Domain>.local and consists of two Domain controllers and a DirectAccess server my domain joined laptop connects splendidly to DirectAccess(best Feature ever). And everything seems to be working flawlessly. I was hoping to configure 3 VM's in azure on my Windows Azure Network and Join them to <domain>.local.
My first attempt was to use domain Join and include the direct access Server Settings policy to the Azure VM but I am unable to access local services, shares or resources like my laptops do.
This leads me to my 3 questions:
1. What additional ports other than 443 will i need to open on my Azure VM's in order to facilitate the direct access connection?
2. Once that is done Will I be able to Join a DirectAccess client as a third Domain Controller in <domain>.local?
3. If it turns out that either one or both of the above ideas are impossible is it entirely necessary for my Router to accept Protocol 50 inbound connections for RRAS VPN tunnel to Azure?
Thank you for reading and Thank you in advance for for any suggestions or solutions.
