How can I connect a Windows VM in Oracle Cloud with my on-premises Active Directory domain?

edit

To connect a Windows VM in Oracle Cloud with your on-premises Active Directory domain, you can follow these steps:

1. Set up a site-to-site VPN or Express Route connection between your on-premises network and your Oracle Cloud VCN.

2. Install Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) on a Windows server within your on-premises network.

3. Create a new domain user account with necessary privileges to join a machine to the domain.

4. Launch the Windows VM in Oracle Cloud and configure its networking settings to use the private IP address of the VCN subnet that is connected to your on-premises network.

5. Join the Windows VM to the on-premises Active Directory domain using the domain user account you created in step 3.

6. Configure the appropriate security groups and firewall rules in Oracle Cloud to allow communication between the Windows VM and the on-premises Active Directory domain controllers.

7. Test the connection to ensure that the Windows VM can authenticate with the on-premises Active Directory domain and access domain resources.

Note: It is recommended to consult the Oracle Cloud documentation for detailed instructions on connecting a Windows VM to an on-premises Active Directory domain.
