What you need is to join the server which installs TFS to AD. You could refer to this article about how to manually join a Windows instance to a Simple AD or AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory:

To manually join an existing Amazon EC2 Windows instance to a Simple AD or AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory directory, the instance must be launched as specified in Seamlessly Join a Windows EC2 Instance:

  1. Connect to the instance using any Remote Desktop Protocol client.

  2. Open the TCP/IPv4 properties dialog box on the instance.

  3. (Optional) Select Use the following DNS server addresses, change the Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server addresses to the IP addresses of the AWS Directory Service-provided DNS servers, and choose OK.

  4. Open the System Properties dialog box for the instance, select the Computer Name tab, and choose Change.

  5. In the Member of field, select Domain, enter the fully-qualified name of your AWS Directory Service directory, and choose OK.

  6. When prompted for the name and password for the domain administrator, enter the username and password of an account that has domain join privileges. For more information about delegating these privileges, see Delegate Directory Join Privileges for AWS Managed Microsoft AD.

  7. After you receive the message welcoming you to the domain, restart the instance to have the changes take effect.
