I have a small on premise AD environment comprising two Windows Server 2012 domain controllers. They run AD, DNS, DHCP, GP etc.
I want to migrate this to the AWS Managed Microsoft AD.
All the articles I have read suggest that the two AD environments need to be in different domains and you have to use a migration tool, and then re-add all your user PCs to this new domain.
Ideally I want to do the following:
- Configure AWS Managed AD in the same domain as my on prem AD
- Make the AWS AD servers part of the on prem domain, and promote them to domain controllers
- All users start using the AWS AD servers
- Demote and decom the old on prem AD servers
Is this possible, or am I being stupid?
