Hello,
We have a small Financial Department with 10 users located within the HQ Branch, 1 of 120 service centers nationwide. We outsource Payroll and have a Vertical Market app that manages Customer service and Account Receivable. We receive text files from the Payroll firm and Customer Service app that we incorporate in GL via Integration Manager based on ratios, all works well.
Currently we have an onsite dedicated server for the finance department which host the GP SQL database and is the domain controller. We are running GP 2013 and using Management Reporter 2012. The IT department has been standardizing services throughout the company in an attempt to deal with 1 vendor for internet services and limit vendors for other services. A nightmare before with each branch contracting it's own services, many of them being other companies that were added via acquisition.
My issue is this, our server is the domain controller/SQL server/Management Reporter server
IT dept wants to move us to an Azure AD controller.
If they do this I know our local profiles will change and I believe I can use an A record in DNS to resolve any problems in finding our present SQL server, however, will Management Reporter be able to work within this environment? Will I have to DCPromo the existing server and add it into the new Azure domain to add new AD domain users as MR users?
BTW, we are using GP2013, planning to convert to GP 2016R2 in preparation of moving to cloud.
thanks,
