This guide covers the complete process of preparing a freshly installed Windows Server 2022 VM as a reusable Proxmox template. All future VMs (CA server, member servers, etc.) are cloned from this template, saving significant time and ensuring a consistent baseline across the entire lab.

In this article I describe step by step how I installed Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and DNS on a Windows Server 2022 Datacenter VM in a VMware Fusion lab environment. The result is a fully functional domain controller for the domain lab.local, as the foundation for a Windows DevOps lab.

To be able to access systems on the LAN network through the VPN tunnel of the OpenVPN server, the LAN system must know that traffic destined for the VPN subnet must be sent via the OpenVPN server. Without this additional route, return traffic will not reach the VPN clients.
In this example, we use the subnet 10.0.8.0/24 as the IP range you have configured for the OpenVPN tunnel. This is the network in which all VPN clients receive an IP address.

She inspired this article as part of the research for her thesis, where she could use some extra attention for the tool ImageCompressor.
Do you want to make your photos smaller in size without losing quality? Good news: you don’t need to install any software for that! With the online tool ImageCompressor, you can simply upload your photos and compress them directly in your browser.
VBoxWebSrv is the VirtualBox Web Service that allows you to manage your VirtualBox virtual machines remotely through a web-based API. It is commonly used with tools like phpVirtualBox to provide a full web interface for VM control.
By running VBoxWebSrv as a Windows service, you ensure it starts automatically with your system and runs continuously in the background.

Dear reader,
Recently I updated my Windows version of my MacBook Pro 16,1 BootCamp setup to Windows 11. Now I ran into the problem that my build in keyboard and trackpad were not working anymore. I had to overcome this issue by connecting a separate keyboard and mouse on a USB port.
I downloaded the software in the BootCamp utility on macOS that is compatible with my laptop, in this case version: Boot Camp drivers 6.
