We are considering removing Active Directory from our environment (mainly due to the fact that all our servers are now cloud hosted), and I am trying to come up with a proposal/plan of attack from the SQL side.
Has anyone done this before? I.E had SQL servers on a domain, then removed them from a domain? I'm basically looking for "Best Practice" on how to achieve this.
We also have some replication running from one server to another (1 publisher, 1 subscriber) - what would be the impact on this? My understanding is that it needs to run using a Windows account, so do I simply create the same user account on both servers (same username/password etc.)?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
