We are moving away from on-prem in the near future and are wondering if it's possible to install Adaxes on an Azure VM to manage EntraID users + exchange? We are not looking to manage devices.

Hello,

Adaxes components can only be installed on computers joined to an AD domain. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to perform the installation on Entra-joined devices. To keep using Adaxes, you will need at least a placeholder AD domain.

So to confirm, if we spun up an Azure Windows 2022 server and tried to install Adaxes, it would fail? We wouldn't be managing on-prem anymore with Adaxes.

Hello,

Yes, that is correct. Adaxes installation will fail if attempted on a computer not joined to an AD domain.

Adaxes is primarily for on-prem AD then ?

Hello,

Adaxes allows you to manage Active Directory, Microsoft Entra, on-premises Exchange and Exchange Online. The requirement mentioned above is only for the installation of Adaxes components.
