What are the best practices for setting up a standalone server? #M365AMA
In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:
“I plan to install a new local standalone server, for manufacturing software that requires SQL express. The server will not be connected a ‘local’ domain and configured to not perform any typical server roles except remoteApp publishing. And remote access for manufacturing software Support and Admin for me. All client machines / users within the business are now enrolled onto MS365 business, and some business premium (Intune), meaning we have no longer have a local domain controller and AD is within Intune / Azure. Here is my question…. What is best practice for standalone server setup? Do I install the new server OS and straight sign in with a admin365 account.. or use admin@onmicrosoft.com account? thus enrolling straight into MS365?”
