Awesome! Currently at a previous part but will catch up soon

[cvpherhackr]

♥Thank you for this lab! I am loving diving back into Splunk again and installing it I cannot wait to configure Active Directory as so many positions ask for experience in it! Killing two birds with one stone! Thank you Steve! ❤

I had issues with forwarding logs from my AD server. What fixed it for me was to uninstall the Universal forwarder I had and re-install it again but this time during the installation I had to put in the server IP address as the deployment server address and used the default port 8089. If you have a similar issue, try this and hope it works for you.

[ajayiosahontv]

You're a G.O.A.T. Thank you for the amazing work. I'm in the process of setting up my HomeLab. I want to change my Wi-Fi network to Ethernet before I continue with Part 3, or do you think it's advisable to continue setting it up with a Wi-Fi network? Should I just switch to an Ethernet cable instead?

[GCabanellas.]

♥Great video. I have experience creating a virtual environment and setting up AD and so on but configuring Splunk, Sysmon and the universal forwarder was something completely new for me. Keep it up.

[ВасилийТеркин-сэ]

Go on! You are the best content creator in this field. Amazing video!

[legendinthegaming]

Hey, I've enjoyed and appreciated your instruction so far. Even using VMWare workstation Pro, I'm able to follow along, or use alternate methods to keep up.

Im having trouble with sending data to splunk. Currently my VMs can communicate with each other and the target machine can access splunk server hosted on ubuntu. When I try to send the endpoint index logs over, there is no telemetry. I think it may have something to do with Sysmon but I didn't devaite from that step, so I'm unsure what the issue is. Any help would be appreciated.

[ratyrat]

i went thru all 5 parts, very good project. one random note is that i noticed you set the W10 machine to have a static IP address instead of it being DHCP assigned like in the diagram. i understand it's because there would be a conflict with the AD server, but couldn't there be a way to "refresh" the assigned ip? i thought of maybe trying ipconfig /release and /renew but that didn't work.
