Good morning all,

I’ve been trying to figure out how to connect from Azure DevOps over to Active Directory on-premise and I can’t.

It’s pretty simple really, we’ve 4 domains I need to be able to run code on, I’m currently stuck in the dark ages of using task schedulers which lets be honest, is archaic and crap.

So, I’ve done some googling, I’ve tried GPT and asked that but nothing I’ve read says, go here, do this, run this, put this into your code, use this method etc.

Does anyone have any guides they can offer or tell me what I need to do so I can leverage an on-premise user account with sufficient privileges to modify objects within the environment? I think we have worker boxes in all the domains but I don’t even know where to find them. I miss Jenkins…

Thanks

Do you have a VPN between Azure and on-prem? Can you ping anything on-prem from Azure DevOps?

We don’t no, so I’m guessing I need to spin up a worker box on each domain right?

Maybe? I haven’t worked with Azure DevOps specifically, but I have worked extensively with other Azure services. If you want Azure to interact with on-prem resources, you’ll need some way for Azure and on-prem to pass traffic and communicate securely. If a worker box on-prem can communicate securely with Azure DevOps and receive instructions to perform on-prem, then it could be a solution.

No because the worker box uses HTTPS to Azure devops and then utilises certificates to authenticate with ADO and then you use creds in AD normally.
