nasvpn Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hello Is it possible to add a client PC to a Active Directory over the internet? I believe the AD is 2003. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted September 26, 2013 Veteran Share Posted September 26, 2013 I could be wrong, but not without a VPN I can't see it being possible, you could try using something free like Hamachi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasvpn Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 But the AD server would also have to be part of the VPN.....Thats the "problem" I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted September 26, 2013 Veteran Share Posted September 26, 2013 If you are using something like Hamachi yes, but if the company had their own VPN system that would act as a VPN into the network rather than to a machine that would work.

sc302 Veteran Posted September 26, 2013 Veteran Share Posted September 26, 2013 You would need vpn. Auth would have to be standalone not ad radius Correction to this, after taking a sip of my coffee this is wrong. You can have radius you can have cert based auth. To early in morning for me. Wish I could strike through on phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted September 26, 2013 MVC Share Posted September 26, 2013 The AD Server doesnt nee to be PART of the VPN like you say. You have a VPN TO Your AD servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted September 26, 2013 Veteran Share Posted September 26, 2013 To clear this up the vpn needs to see the network ad is on. But that is the whole point of the vpn...so you can connect to your private network using the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the key entry and it doesnt exist. Logic tells me to make it myself but I dont know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted September 28, 2013 Veteran Share Posted September 28, 2013 The first line states it wasn't tested on Vista. "Not tested" and "doesn't work for" are not the same. There may be some modification for it to work. Read post #7 in that link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
