The hybrid networking module in AZ-800 details Azure Network Adapter (ANA) as a Windows Admin Center (WAC) workflow that creates a point-to-site (P2S) VPN from an on-premises Windows Server to an Azure virtual network. The documentation states that ANA is initiated directly from Windows Admin Center
, which automates provisioning of the necessary Azure resources (e.g., VPN gateway configuration and certificates) and installs/configures the VPN client on the server, establishing secure connectivity to the target VNet . The Azure portal does not install or configure the on-premises VPN client for a standalone server; Azure AD Connect is used for identity synchronization and is unrelated to network tunneling; and Device Manager is not used for configuring VPN or Azure connectivity. In practice, you add the server to WAC, o pen the Network tool, and select Add Azure Network Adapter , sign in to Azure, choose VNet1 , and complete the wizard. This is the prescribed, streamlined method for connecting Server1 to VNet1 using Azure Network Adapter, validating Windows Admin Center as the correct choice.
