I have a setup with AD servers in one network and the clients behind a NAT firewall. Is this a supported configuration? I have read kb978772 and am looking to clarify the information.
In one paragraph it says
"The Microsoft statement regarding Active Directory over NAT is: Active Directory over NAT has not been tested by Microsoft. We do not recommend Active Directory over NAT. Support for issues related to Active Directory over NAT will be very limited and will reach the bounds of commercially reasonable efforts very quickly."
In a later paragraph the KB states
"The only configuration with NAT that was tested by Microsoft is running client on the private side of a NAT and have all servers located on the public side of the NAT. The NAT would also function as a DNS server."
I need to know if Microsoft supports the servers on a public side of the NAT and the clients on the private side of the NAT.
