This is very good detail excellent job. I have created a lab by nesting it on a single Bare Metal server running on an intel NUC. After mirroring your installation my all is running great. I even have AD authentication etc. However my VMs don't have network access outside the lab. I would love to see a demo of how that networking would come together.

Excellent walk-through, really helpful, thanks a lot!

[DangeeksC]

damn useful walk through, as someone who sort of knew what to do the extra steps in here were well worth the review!

[kdub]

Excellent video, very clear and concise on the details for the building of the VCSA - very good and useful watch.

[residuevideos]

Even VMware themselves couldn't make a video like this. Thanks, my friend.

[peterfricht]

Nice walktrough ! If you have enough background knowledge with dns/ad etc this is really valuable

[amosfeldman]

THANKS for not skipping over the DNS setup required steps. I think you can and should break those out in text form in the description (step by step) or include a link to a PDF or blog post about it. I've seen other similar posts elsewhere on-line. Basically its a missing part of documentation and just assumes that one knows how to do this, but in many cases people learning for VCP-DCV are also beginners with AD and Windows Server, and the DNS setup steps may not be obvious. Thanks for taking the time to go over your approach and recommended practices.
