Installing a Windows Server in my Homelab, am I crazy?

Am I crazy? Why do I install a Windows Server in my Home lab? In this video I'll show you how to install and set up a Windows Server 2022 as a virtual machine on Proxmox, and how to use it as an Active Directory Domain Controller for testing. #WindowsServer #ActiveDirectory #HomeLab

You can actually run the eval for 3 years.

If the number of days the license expires is getting shorter, you can reset the evaluation version of Windows Server 2022 6 times by starting the command prompt or PowerShell at any time and using the “slmgr -rearm” command.

It is recommended to execute the “slmgr -rearm” command in an Internet connection environment. If you run it in an internet connection, the license extension period will be reset to 180 days. ※If executed in an offline environment, it will be extended for 10 days.

You saved me big time again my friend! I spent days trying to figure out why it wouldn't boot up in my Proxmox but finally it works with your instruction. Funny though that it works for you when you upload the server iso to Proxmox without facing any error '0'. I didn't have that too when I setup a fresh Proxmox.. So now I am relying on scp to transfer them. If you have some tutorial to teach how to avoid this error I'm sure that will help us beginners too!

Good video !! Might have to give this a shot too!

BTW you can really easily set up a full active directory with Ansible. It's just 3 tasks ;)

Excellent tutorial!! Call me old school, but I still install AD from the cmd prompt using the dcpromo command.

Now we should get a freeipa tutorial! At one job I'm a Windows server admin, but my other gig I am setting up and admining freeipa. It's the best.

I actually run two Windows Server 2019 instances myself. I have one with a desktop running as my primary domain controller on bare metal, and I have a virtualized server core on Proxmox as a backup domain controller. It's been a learning experience for me, and I'm covering it on my website.

When I installed win11 in proxmox to test it out I did so without virtIO drivers and all seems to work well. Wonder what the difference is and if I should reinstall

[mistakek]

Looking forward to this series. Need a bit of a refresher on AD

I would love to be able to use teleport, I think it's a grate program. however, I get my ssl through cloudflare which means I only get 1 level of subdomains which is obviously a problem as I I would like to use it for web applications (or whatever it was called). do you or eneryone else have any idea of a way around this?
