I'm trying to create Windows Server VM joined to the AAD where my Azure Subscription is.
I'm reading Join a Windows Server virtual machine to a managed domain, but I'm stuck on step #6:
select the virtual network in which your Azure AD DS-managed domain is
deployed. Pick a different subnet than the one that your managed
domain is deployed into
There are no virtual networks in the select box and the only options is to create new. But if I create new, then I can't reach the domain controller from the VM.
When using AAD with no other AD on prem or located in Azure, you need to create an Active Directory Domain Services account in order to join VMs to that domain.
Otherwise, if you are syncing your on premise domain to your AAD domain via AD Sync you just need to ensure that the VMs you want to join to the domain have access to the virtual network where the domain is located. This means you can opt to peer virtual networks in Azure or connect the separate networks using a Site-to-Site VPN connection.
For this particular issue, you would go with the Active Directory Domain Services account and put it into a blank subnet in the same Vnet as the Virtual Machines are located. Once this is one, you will be able to connect the VMs to your managed domain.

dears I just bought a domain from Name cheap and I am using Azure VM Windows Server 2019 Datacenter, now I want to join my windows server on my domain to be as domain controller.
I add my IP address into the domain page, how I can join azure VM to the domain?
For joining the azure domain you need to configure S2S VPN (Site-to-Site VPN) between Azure and the domain and you need to configure your DNS manually to make sure that VM uses domain controller as its DNS server.
Here is the article to configure Site-to-Site VPN. you can create a new VNET or you can use the existing one if you have any. If you create a new VNET, you may need to re-create VM.
From here you can configure the DNS server manually.
And you can check this documentation for complete information
can anyone help with some azure vm issues. I wished to connect a domain server VM and a ordinary server VM and use active directory synchronization. But every time I deploy new VM from azure portal, it always have the DNS name status as not configured. I really don't understand why. I set the DNS server with the private IPs of the VMs on the vNet. Thanks for replies and advise. VM DNS name not configured
As the comment stated, the DNS name for that VM is actually associated with the public IP attached to that VM. You can follow this step to create FQDN for an Azure VM.
If you want to join the Azure VM to your local domain, you can follow this link:
The main steps are as follows:
Establish cross-site connectivity using Azure site-to-site VPN connections
Configure a custom DNS server
Provision a VM with a custom DNS server
Join the Azure VM to the on-premises Active Directory domain
If you intend to join a Windows Server virtual machine to an Azure Active Directory Domain Services managed domain, read this tutorial.
Kindly let me know
Setup the Virtual machine - configure DHS, TCP/IP, Firewall setting
Map to Virtual Network and Subnet
create a vm in other region and set up the Activie directly to setup accces the vm based on user group
Access both VM and files in the vms based on AD Settings Configure Apps based on AD Settings
To be honest, the question is too broad and unclear to answer it better. Also, you have not update your specific question. I suppose you want to create a Windows server VM and then join this Azure VM to a managed domain.
If so, you can follow these step1-step3 from this doc: Join a Windows Server virtual machine to a managed domain. It shows how to create Azure VM and how to join the virtual machine to an Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) managed domain.

Azure Active Directory (AD) Domain Services
What is Azure Active Directory?
I am attempting to link my Azure AD to a Network to enable Azure Directory Services. I have created a network but every time I try to enable the Azure Directory Services no networks show up under the 'CONNECT DOMAIN SERVICES TO THIS VIRTUAL NETWORK' dropdown menu. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?
According to your description, I guess you create your virtual network in Azure new portal(ARM module).
For now, Azure AD Domain Services cannot be enabled in virtual networks created using Azure Resource Manager.
In your scenario, I think we should use VNet peering or site-to-site VPN to connect classic Vnet and ARM vnet. You can connect a Resource Manager-based virtual network to the Azure classic virtual network in which you have enabled Azure AD Domain Services. This connection enables you to use the managed domain with your workloads deployed in the Resource Manager-based virtual network.
More information about select a virtual network for AD DS, please refer to the link.
I have several virtual machines in the azure network. Instead of creating users separately for each machine I would like to create the users at the network level. It will be easier for me to maintain users at the network level.
I am guessing it is not possible to add users to the virtual network because so far I haven't found anything while googling for the question and there is nothing in the Azure Management Portal Virtual Network settings that hints that this feature is available. If this is correct then would you like to suggest a workaround?
You cannot add users to a virtual network in Azure. You can only add VMs (IaaS) and Web and Worker Roles (PaaS) to virtual networks.
In the case you mean to authorize users to access Windows VMs, then think about an Active Directory Domain for your VMs and join all your VMs in that domain.
