Question

Your on-premises network contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server.

You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual machine name VM1.

You need to ensure that you can manage VM1 by using Windows Admin Center from Server1. The solution must minimize administrative effort.

What should you create first?

 

Proposed answer
  • an Azure Network Adapter
  • This answer is correct.
  • an Azure Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN
  • an Azure Virtual WAN
  • an ExpressRoute 
Correct answer

an Azure Network Adapter

  • Correct - In Windows Admin Center, you can use an Azure Network Adapter to create a secured virtual connection over the internet that extends the on-premises network to Azure. This lets you connect an on-premises standalone server to Azure virtual networks. Azure Network Adapter is a free, downloadable extension for Windows Admin Center that simplifies configuring a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN.
  • Incorrect - A Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN provides a secure and reliable connection between an on-premises infrastructure and Azure virtual networks. However, it is not used to connect a standalone server to Azure virtual networks by using Azure Network Adapter.
  • Incorrect - Azure Virtual WAN is a networking service that provides optimized and automated branch-to-branch connectivity through Azure. However, it is not used to connect a standalone server to Azure virtual networks by using Azure Network Adapter.
  • Incorrect - ExpressRoute is a dedicated, private network connection between an on-premises infrastructure and Azure datacenters. However, it is not used to connect a standalone server to Azure virtual networks by using Azure Network Adapter.

Overall, Azure Network Adapter in Windows Admin Center provides a simple and secure way to connect an on-premises standalone server to Azure virtual networks, allowing for an easy and efficient extension of the on-premises network to Azure.
