I'm thinking about doing some online projects as a Developer/IT Technician, and I have some concerns regarding security.

I'm unable to host my servers locally for my project and I thought why not to host the servers in datacenters using hosters like Hetzner. My plans are also hosting an active directory server on one of these servers and join the others to that domain to have a better management  ...

• Join the domain
• Configure the VPN connection to only apply to traffic related to Active Directory

Has anyone done this? If so, how do you actually do it? Any advic ...

We are migrating users to new computer, and they have around 10 different SharePoint sites. Is there a way to copy the settings to a new computer, without manually doing so.

Any help would be appreciated.
