Customers and partners have already been using Managed Service for Microsoft AD for their AD-dependent applications and VMs. Use cases include automatically “domain joining” new Windows VMs by integrating the service with Cloud DNS, hardening Windows VMs by applying Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and controlling Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access through GPOs.
dunnhumby, a customer data science platform, has been evaluating the service over the last few months. “We have been helping customers to better understand their customers for over 30 years,” said Andrew Baird, Infrastructure Engineer, dunnhumby. “With Managed Service for Microsoft AD, we can now offload some of the AD management and security tasks, so we can focus on our main job–our customers.”
Citrix has also been evaluating the service to reduce the management overhead for their services that run on GCP. “Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service orchestrates customer workloads which run on a managed fleet of “VDA” instances on GCP. For the AD-related operations of these Citrix products, we found infrastructure deployment was significantly simplified with Google Cloud’s managed services, especially Managed Service for Microsoft Active Directory,” said Harsh Gupta, Director Product Management, Citrix.
Managed Service for Microsoft AD is available in public beta. To get started, check out the product page to sign up for beta, read the documentation, and watch the latest webinar.
