Small business network.....
I know that if you don’t use your knowledge it will fade - so I’ve decided to start a business!
Not a real one, an entirely fictitious one with staff and a website. Why would I want to do this? I gained the knowledge to do many of these things during my HNC and HND, and in order to retain the skills I need practice and there will always be a need for people to add staff to the directory and reset passwords.
So, I will need to create a server, several staff members, host PC’s connected to the domain, a web server and possibly a firewall to protect it all from bad people outside....
In order to do all of this I will use a Dell PowerEdge R710 server running ESXI, but since I don’t want to have that running full time I’ll create virtual machines on my laptop, export them and (hopefully) make it all work as planned.....
I'll keep updating this with my progress, issues and links to useful resources I find. It should end up something like this:
