I have been tasked with setting up a server for my company that 5 or 6 individuals will be hitting (with one off-site needing VPN access). I have a grasp of what we need, but I want to bounce some ideas off of those who have been doing this kind of thing more consistently. I installed the operating system yesterday (Windows Server 2016) and have started to browse the services and features in the server manager.
My goal is to be able to connect the server to the Azure AD so that I do not have to configure new accounts. It seems relatively straight forward. From there I need to enable the server to hold and host videos that we review. We should be able to connect to the videos via a browser. Also, on top of that, we need to have a shared drive that we can share documents in. To finish I need to set up VPN-access for our off-site employee so that they can access all the content I have listed above (This is what I am least familiar with and will need the most help on).
Besides connecting the Azure AD to the servers AD, what else should I be looking into/configuring. The majority of features/services in the server manager setup are beyond the scope of what my company needs at the moment (simple shared documents, hosting videos and maybe images).
Do I configure the domain on Azure or does this server need its own Domain? How should I go about setting up a network drive? What are the steps/best practices to set up a browser enabled service that when you type in the path to the server, the video populates in the window? The IT department has dumped this on my group (GIS) because a myriad of issues in the past. ANY help/resources will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
