[@EastCharmer]

Wow thank you so much for the really nice feedback!! Goodluck on your interview and keep practicing!!

[@sharnellemallard4654]

You're welcome!! Thank you!! Tbh I spent a long time preparing, making and editing these videos lol. I want them to be as detailed as possible

[@AncestralInsights360]

Thank you so much for this video. I struggled for months learning how Active Directory works and finally your video explains it from a simple perspective. I appreciate it so much. God bless you

[@EastCharmer]

You're very welcome! Glad it helped. There's more video on this series for Windows Server Homelab if you wanna try setting this up yourself. God Bless you as well!!

[@EastCharmer]

Wow, thank you! You're very welcome! I'm glad I made this updated version of the video.

[@odenetheus]

@@EastCharmer I usually never watch tutorial/help/guide videos, because I can usually just read whatever a lot faster, and because most videos are trash. This video, however, stands out as exactly what I'm looking for those very few times I need to know the absolute basics of something Thanks :)

[@isxaqahmed4536]

great tutorial, and well explain for active directory creation for OU, groups, and users. i will love to see more videos like this, and networking labs, i appreciate it.

[@EastCharmer]

Thank you! I've made a playlist with more videos on Windows Server. More networking labs soon!

[@CyberTronics]

Much needed video you’ve kept it simple enough for us just wanting it for homelab and broke it down with diagrams so we understand what’s going on. Absolutely amazing keep it up

[@EastCharmer]

Thank you for this windows server course ❤ it helps me to the next level...

[@EastCharmer]

You are welcome! Glad it helped! Hopefully I can make more videos on this series!

[@alexcricles]

I always been assumed that windows server needs a huge resource, even as a virtual machine. but, you just showed that it could be installed by the same resource as linux as vm, 20 GB for storage and 2 GB for memory/RAM. nice vid!

[@EastCharmer]

Thank you! Well you're right! Windows is usually heavy on resources (that's why I'm not a big fan) but for practice lab, minimum resources are good enough to get started

[@jogamel6119]

Great video that. Thank you for the detailed explanation.

[@EastCharmer]

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@manimalaragavan]

Hi East Charmer, Thanks for this Absolutely brilliant video. Also thanks for the links for the free edition.

[@EastCharmer]

Hello!! You're very welcome and hopefully more videos to come!

[@manimalaragavan]

Waiting. Please do some videos on powershell scripting for regular tasks..

[@syntehk]

Thanks for this! I got tripped up in a couple of places. First : I used Hyper-V with the .vhd file from the Microsoft website to avoid the installation process. Hyper-V's virtual switch defaults to an internal one that uses a 172.16.x.x address range and not the 192.168.x.x range of my home network. Solved this by adding another external type virtual switch within hyper-v and connected the VM to that one instead. Second : I couldn't figure out why the [Next] button was greyed out when it came to Role Services in the Add Roles and Features Wizard. In the video at 9:47 it looks like there's a cut that leaves out checking the box "DirectAccess and VPN (RAS)" which enables the [Next] button. Thanks again! Can't wait to tackle the next tutorial in the series.

[@EastCharmer]

You're welcome! I'm glad you figured out and resolved those issues. Will be making more videos for this series

[@vaguesemantics]

Nice lab, thank you for the help ❤

Tip - When you have to press any key - 6:25 - Make sure you mouse click on the screen of the virtual machine so your keystrokes are registered by the VM & not your main PC.

I have a few suggection. 1. use the Ctrl+Alt+Inst instead, it will send Ctrl+Alt+Del to VM. it is easy to press "any key" during on CD boot prompt. 2. install Vmware Tool after the os installation will got the better screen resolution😃

[@EastCharmer]

Thanks!! Yes I forgot to add those in video. Yeah it's easy to press any key prompt but it gets missed easily when you're not paying attention coz it happened to me so it's also good to know if someone encounters it
