Download and install VirtualBox for Windows host, restart your system, and launch the VirtualBox manager to start managing Windows virtual machines.
Set up Windows 10 and Windows 11 in VirtualBox by creating VBS folders, configuring memory and CPUs, attaching ISOs, and installing VirtualBox Guest Additions after troubleshooting kernel errors.
Demonstrates installing and launching Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 in virtualization using VMware, VirtualBox, or Hyper-V, configuring 8 GB RAM and 2 vCPUs with ISOs.
Enable hyper-v on Windows by turning on the hyper-v feature in programs and features, then restart and launch the hyper-v interface; note that home editions cannot use hyper-v.
Set up Windows 10 and Windows 11 with Hyper-V, creating generation two virtual machines, enabling dynamic memory, booting from ISO installers, and enabling TPM for Windows 11.
Install and configure Windows Server 2019 and 2022 by creating and configuring virtual machines, mounting ISOs, and initiating desktop experience installations.
Explore TCP/IP classes and how IP addresses work, focusing on IPv4 with 32 bits, four octets, decimal notation, and binary concepts, plus IPv6 and hosts on LAN and WAN.
Explore tcp/ip classes a, b, and c, their ranges and default subnets, and why d and e are reserved; learn cidr notations /8, /16, /24, and loopback 127.0.0.1.
Describe class C addresses, range 192 to 223, and the default mask 255.255.255.0, a /24 CIDR where the first three octets designate the network and the last is the host.
Learn class B addressing: the first two octets form the network, the last two the hosts, with a /16 mask 255.255.0.0 and up to 65,534 usable hosts.
Explore class a networks, covering 1-127 range, network id and broadcast, and why 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 cannot be hosts, with a 255.0.0.0 (/8) mask.
Understand that class d handles multicast users, with addresses 224–239, while class e covers research addresses 240–254. Relate routing protocols RIP, EGP, and OSPF to neighbor updates and routing tables.
Explore how port numbers pair with source and destination IPs to form sockets, and compare TCP’s connection-oriented delivery with UDP’s faster, connectionless behavior, including well-known ports like 80 and 443.
Compare tcp and udp, view open ports with netstat, and explore key port numbers like 3389 and 445, plus Kerberos ports 88 and 464, for practical network security insight.
Change the RDP port by editing the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server from 3389 to 5555, then restart. Open port 5555 in Windows Defender Firewall and verify with netstat.
Install and verify the latest hotfixes, patches, and updates on Windows Server 2022, Windows 11 Pro, and Windows 10 Pro to harden the systems.
Configure static IPs, disable IPv6, and set DNS and gateway on the server and clients, then assign friendly computer names (W2022, W10, W11) and test connectivity in a client-server network.
Test connectivity between a server and two clients on the same local area network by using ping, while learning to temporarily disable and re-enable Windows Firewall and configure firewall rules.
