Join two Domain Controls on two separat LANs together as if

Post by nam2long » Fri Nov 25, 2016 4:10 pm

I want to join my Amazon Web Services (AWS) domain to my in home Domain Controller. Essentially having it act as if all my AWS servers were here on site and eventually join another branch location to the network as if I was on one been network connected via Ethernet and switch/router. I have been trying to do this for a while and I am pretty technical but VPN is a realm I have very little experience in. Please note that this is a project for learning experience and not for production. However, I would like to learn to implement this in production to be able to add experience to my resume. I really want to learn this so any help I can benefit from is appreciate.

So here we go:

1> OS: Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 on both networks

2. ipconfig:

4. The build number of SoftEther VPN:
9608 (I have the RTM)

5. Which SoftEther VPN component are you using?
I am using all for LAN-to-LAN and my l2tp doesn't work my windows clients or my phone if that helps

6. Whether or not there is a NAT or Firewall between your VPN server and the Internet.
(If there is a NAT or Firewall, you should open a TCP port for the VPN listener.)
I have all the ports listed as open for outbound and inbound on the AWS server...should these be opened for my home router? My home router is protected by the routers firewall and NAT...both servers have the firewalls turned off for now..I will work them back on when I get it working

7. Are you using SecureNAT?
(If so, why don't you use the Local Bridge function instead?
I was, but after disabling it there is no pings to either side. I have local bridge enabled though

8. Your current vpn_server.config or vpn_bridge.config file should be attached on the post.
(You may hide your confidential information on these config files if included)

{ATTACHED VIA config.txt}



Again, any help will be appreciated. my end goal is to run my house like a business network.. you know I loginto my desktop and have roaming profiles and can loginto my laptop while in the back yard enjoying some sweet tea and have all my stuff there. I also want to access my home NAS from the AWS server to store files and host files via reverse proxy or mount the drive to apache when I add one..lol

It's not clear what you want. Do you want to make the remote DC an additional DC to your home's DC ? or you want to join machines from your home to the remote DC ?

I want to join the home DC to the cloud one but everytime I do so it can't communicate with the other end. I also can not see the other machines on my home network from the cloud server. Maybe I need a virtual LAN on both servers? but that sounds counter productive to Site-to-Site VPN


Would this be what I am looking for: https://www.seswan.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4

I want one network...regardless of its location and I want to have the same control over a PC as I would if it were in my LAN even if they are different branches/networks

Do you mean by "join" making the home DC capable of communicating with the cloudy DC ?. I mean by "communicating" they both see each other as if they were on the same Ethernet segment/IP network. Or you meant to use "join" as Microsoft defined in its docs ?
