Notes

• The Windows EC2 instance for Active Directory does not have a public IP address or port 3389 open for security reasons. To RDP to it you have to use aws ssm start-session to set up port forwarding, then you can RDP to localhost:<theport>.

  aws ssm start-session --target <TheInstanceID> --document-name AWS-StartPortForwardingSession --parameters "localPortNumber=54321,portNumber=3389" --region <TheRegion>

Known Issues

• The DSRM password is visible in the user data script. It should be set some other way.
