Set up your virtual lab by installing VirtualBox and downloading Windows Server 2022 and Windows 10 ISO images, using the English 64-bit versions and a 180-day trial.
Set up a VirtualBox network named Local Area Network with 192.168.0.0/24 and DHCP. Create Windows VM named server one with 4096MB RAM and a dynamically allocated disk using Windows 10.
Install and configure Windows Server 2022 in a virtual machine, boot from an ISO, enable the desktop experience, and set the administrator password.
Configure a Windows Server 2022 VM by adding a second network adapter for a LAN and internet connection, assign LAN IP 192.168.0.1, update, and rename the server to server one.
Discover how active directory centralizes user data in the NTDS.DIT database, managed by the directories tool, and runs as active directory domain services on a domain controller.
Install the active directory domain services role and promote the server to a new forest domain controller for Marvel Local.
Install and configure a member server, add a second network interface, set IP addresses, join the Marvel.local domain, and install guest additions to complete domain integration.
Promote a member server to a redundant domain controller with Active Directory Domain Services and verify replication between domain controllers, including off-site redundancy.
Discover how the domain name system works, using a local cache analogy, from a root server to the dot.com name server, then to the Google subdomain and Google.com.
Configure forward and reverse lookup zones in Windows Server 2022, manage SOA, NS, and A records in the Marvel Local zone, and create pointer records to map IPs to hostnames.
Configure Windows Server 2022 as an internet gateway by enabling routing and remote access with NAT to provide LAN internet access via server one; verify with ping 8.8.8.8 and wikipedia.org.
Install Windows 10 enterprise edition on a workstation within a virtual machine, including creating the VM, attaching the ISO, performing a custom install, and configuring region, user, and offline network.
Configure a Windows workstation by assigning a static IP, joining the Marvel Local domain, confirming connectivity to the server, and installing guest additions and updates.
Learn how DHCP assigns dynamic IP addresses and replaces manual static configurations, using a Windows Server 2022 DHCP server with a single IP segment to manage leases, offers, and acknowledgments.
Install, authorize, and configure a dhcp scope on server one for 192.168.0.0/24. Activate the scope and verify dynamic ip assignment (for example 192.168.0.21) via ipconfig.
Explore organizational units and user accounts in Active Directory, plan and implement a business unit model for OUs, create user accounts, and organize users to mirror the company structure.

Hey guys! This course will introduce you to Windows Server 2022! My goal during the creation of this course was to be different from other courses. These other courses sometimes contain hundreds of lectures with too much information which isn't even useful most of the time. With that in mind I tried to create a course that explains all the necesarry information while still keeping the amount of lectures pleasant! This course is suited for people that are completely new to IT but also for professionals who are looking to refresh their knowledge! Unfortunately a lot of people think IT is difficult and complex. I made it my task to prove to you that the opposite is true!
My advice would be to follow the steps I perform on your own computer. The only thing you need to follow this course is a computer and an internet connection! The course will be available at any time through your browser. I will explain everything into detail. At the beginning of each chapter, there will be a short presentation about the main topic of the chapter. During this presentation I will explain how certain things work and why we are implementing them.
You'll learn all you need to know in order to get an IT job! After you've completed this course you have created you own IT environment, installed and configured the newest version of Windows Server, build an entire Windows domain with servers and a workstation, installed and configured Active Directory, learned about, installed and configured the DNS and DHCP roles and you have even created an entire organizational structure! This course will provide you with useful skills which will look excellent on your resume when you're going to apply for that IT job!
