Last updated: 2022-09-02
I want to use an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Windows instance to manage AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) or Simple AD. How can I do that?
Resolution
First, join the EC2 Windows instance to the directory in one of the following ways:
- To join a new instance to an AWS Managed Microsoft AD or Simple AD directory during launch, see Seamlessly join a Windows EC2 instance.
- To manually join an existing instance to a directory, see Manually join a Windows instance.
Then, to manage the directory from the EC2 Windows instance, install Active Directory administration tools on the instance.
