Our company has 15 stores each with high speed internet. At each store we have 2-3 Windows 10 PCs, with 3-4 employees per store (each employee does not work every day). All together we have about 40 PCs and 50 users. We would like all employees to sign in to their computer using a centralized authentication system. We don’t want to set up a VPN at each location back to our HQ’s Active Directory server.
Considering our HQ AD only has a few security policies and 10 computers attached, we could probably replace it with the Azure AD as well?
From what I have read, I believe Azure AD should be able to help us with this. Is this right? Or would we be better off using a true cloud AD product like JumpCloud?
If so, can we use multiple domain names (e.g. abc.com and xyz.com)?
Furthermore, we would like to be able to remotely monitor if the computer is running (thus, since this is done remotely it also has an internet connection),remotely perform windows updates, and also remotely share the screen for troubleshooting. I assume this is another question, but possible Microsoft has one product that can do this monitoring along with authentication?
