Hi Javi, Please refer the GCP documentation for the same.

Please post your query or issue in case you faced any during migration.

• For direct migration from an on-premise Windows server to GCP, try a cloud migration tool like GoodSync ,Gs Richcopy 360, or Sharegate. all can save your time.

• For VPN user validation, look into using Cloud Identity for federated access to your VPN. It can authenticate users via your on-prem or cloud-based Active Directory.

• For security policies, install Group Policy extensions on your Windows VMs to apply policies centrally from your on-prem AD server. Or build them directly into the OS image/template.

thanks
