I have a Windows 2022 server from onsite storage for hosting applications and having issues getting Entra connect to work. Do I need to create a duplicate domain and join that to our existing domain?

I 'prefer not' to set up a new domain, but rather use the existing domain and allow users to access this sever with Entra ID authentication. Any information on this?

    Hi @DG001

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    When you mentioned that your Server 2022 is "hosted onsite" do you mean that it's a physical server?

    I'm asking because only Windows 10 / 11 operational systems are supported for Entra ID join (which is a prerequisite to login using an Entra ID account), except for Windows Server VMs hosted on Azure.

    I'm sorry if that's not the answer you were expecting, but let me know if you have further questions.

    Thanks,

    Fabio
