One place I'm doing some work at has started the process of upgrading the backup provision, one thing I have thought of doing is spinning up a server core azure VM and making that a DC for the network - anyone done this with any success? Backing up data is easy enough, as are databases and the suchlike, but a DC is always a bloody nightmare!

A2 on 3 of our forests and A3 on the other one.

Got four "on-prem" businesses all with their own forests. They all VPN into their own VNET and then I've got VNET to VNET tunneling to join the four "azure" DC's together, along with a Windows Azure AD Sync box.

The WAADS server copies all of our forests into a single Office365/AzureAD tenant so we can share Exchange Online, Sharepoint, etc across the group.
