Azure VM and AD Setup - azure

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.
Also, you may want to know these information below:

How to join my VM to AAD - select virtual network

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.

Azure AD not showing Networks when Enabling Directory Services

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.

Using same domain controller for multiple virtual networks in azure

In a azure virtual network(say vnet1) I have 2 virtual machines(say VM1 & VM2).I have windows server active directory installed in VM1. In vnet setting in azure I have mentioned VM1 as my DNS server.So I can use user credentials in AD(from VM1) to login to VM2.Now I want another virtual network(vnet2) to use same AD(in vnet1) so that I could login to the virtual machines in vnet2 using user credentials in AD in vnet1.I tried putting in public IP of VM1 as a DNS setting in vnet2 but that did not work.I would like to know if this is possible? or I have to use another windows server active directory which would be part of my vnet2?
I would also like to know if there are any network limitations on AD?
Thanks in advance.
You net to do a Site to Site between the Vnets.
Depending on if you are using ASM (Azure Service Manager) or ARM (Azure Resource Manager) the solution might have a different setup and there are many blog posts on how to do a Vnet to Vnet connection but i always try to use the official documentation since it always has the latest supported information.
Here is the guide you are looking for.

How can I create two DS series virtual machines within the same cloud service?

I need to create two DS virtual machines within the same cloud service. In the existing portal this is very easy, however in the preview portal there appears to be no options to set the cloud service when creating a VM.
The problem is that the existing portal cannot create DS virtual machines, or virtual machines with premium storage. Whilst the preview portal can create DS virtual machines, but cannot create virtual machines within a cloud service.
I have tried to create virtual machines in the existing portal as a D series VM, and then upgrade with the preview portal to a DS VM but this option is not available.
I am hoping I am missing something obvious.
A central feature of a cloud service is a shared DNS name which provides a VIP and a load balancer. In the preview portal this capability is exposed through a shared DNS name. Give your second VM the same DNS name as your first VM.

How to add users to the Azure Virtual Network

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.
Here is a guide how to do this: Install a new Active Directory forest on an Azure virtual network
