    You're not supplying enough information. What type of Cisco router?

    Generally, you can replace a routing server with a router (no need for domain joining, etc.), but if the server is doing some other functions (like RRAS), you'll still need such a server on the network (the basic Cisco routers typically have no idea of your AD (active directory) structure, so it won't be able to authenticate users straight from AD (unless you have a RADIUS server, but again, we're not doing it all with the Cisco router).

    Not to say Cisco routers can't accept remote VPN connections (such as the 1700 series), but you'd have to create (re-create) seperate usernames on the router (but you have issues there… someone changes their AD password, the password on the Cisco stays the same, etc.). It's a pain to manage (especially if you have a lot of users, or the users change freqently).

    The question really is, why would you want to do that? What's the problem with your current config?
