I have installed Azure DevOps Server 2019 on a standalone server for evaluation purpose. I would like to assign some domain users (e.g. mydomain\tester1). This standalone server is not joining any domain.

My question is how can I integrate Azure DevOps Server with existing Active Directory? Should I join the server to domain or I can setup in the application settings? There are very few reference about Azure DevOps. Thanks for your advice.

What you need is to join the server which installs Azure DevOps to Active Directory.

That's all required. After this, you could directly add domain users or groups to groups in Azure DevOps.

There are very few reference about Azure DevOps (server).

You could also refer TFS related article and blog. TFS is the previous name of Azure DevOps on-premise Server. Most of the server side configuration hasn't changed since the beginning.

  • Is it possible not to join the server? Because our company policy not allow test server join the company domain. – Mark Apr 23 '20 at 06:27
  • @Mark It's not able to do this. If you do not join the server to any Active Directory. You are only able to add windows /local users to Azure DevOps on that server. – PatrickLu-MSFT Apr 23 '20 at 06:59
  • Hi Patrick, one more question. Without joining the server to AD, how can I authenticate my Git client (like TortiseGit) to the Azure DevOps server using the local users? – Mark Apr 23 '20 at 07:03
  • @Mark Not sure if you mean you want to use this kind of Git Repo during the build. Here is a full list of supported repo. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/?view=azure-devops . In the get source select add other GIT. There will be a pop up dialog, there is a generic Git Service connection, you need to add your git repo url, User name /Password /Token key. – PatrickLu-MSFT Apr 23 '20 at 07:14
