Milestone 2 - Active Directory

đŸ’¡Milestone 1 should be completed, we are going to augment our architecture further by deploying Windows Domain Controller. and vCenter. Additionally, we will begin managing our Hypervisor from xubuntu-wan.

The rough steps you will take, document and test include:

  • Create a sysprepped windows server 19 baseline.
    • Sysprep script link: https://tinyurl.com/480sysprep
    • Using your new baseline (make sure you have that Base snapshot), start it up and
      • Add the Administrative user password
      • Change the segment to 480-WAN give it an ip of 10.0.17.4/24 and a hostname of dc1, you will want DNS and Gateway pointing to vyos:10.0.17.2 initially
      • Do remember to rename the computer before installing the forest if you didn't set it already.
      • Complete configuration using powershell/ssh from xubuntu-wan as deployer
      • Document all commands in your tech journal!
      • install adds (yourname.local)
      • install dns
      • create A and PTR entries for
        • vcenter.yourname.local at 10.0.17.3
        • 480-fw as 10.0.17.2
        • xubuntu-wan at 10.0.17.100
        • dc1 (just PTR needs to be added) at 10.0.17.4 enable remote desktop via powershell
      • install dhcp services
        • create a dhcp scope from 10.0.17.101-150
        • router should be 10.0.17.2
        • dns server should be 10.0.17.4
      • make sure to create a named domain admin (yourname-adm.yourlastname.local)
