  • My windows server iso does not install GUI it’s installing the core version. It doesn’t even give me an option to choose anything. Am I doing anything wrong? Anyone else facing this issue? Can you please share the link for the download?

  • I always been assumed that windows server needs a huge resource, even as a virtual machine. but, you just showed that it could be installed by the same resource as linux as vm, 20 GB for storage and 2 GB for memory/RAM. nice vid!

  • Hi eastcharmer, please do a test login to other pc once you done creating a users on your AD server. ty

  • East Charmer,

    Hi East Charmer,

    I wanted to thank you for your insightful video—it truly helped me understand the I.T. work culture better. I have an idea for a potential collaboration that could be beneficial for both of us: preparing a demo of Type 1 hypervisors, such as vSphere or Proxmox, and networking them. The installation of three virtual servers on the Type 1 hypervisor, include Windows Server 2022 as the primary OS MACHINES–> AD/DC DNS, DHCP, and the File Server Resource Manager.

    For context, I am currently enrolled in the Cybersecurity Network Engineering program at Valencia College here in Florida. We’ve been focusing on Linux, particularly RHEL, given its increasing importance over the next five years.

    I look forward to the possibility of working together and learning from your expertise.

    Best regards,

  • Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, highly appreciate it💞

  • Love your channel from Paris… You motivated me to take the Google it support and Cisco ccst networking certifications 🙂

  • Thank you very much for the video. It was super interesting and informative. I have a challenge for you. Build a domain controller on a Windows Server 2022 Core, incl. DHCP and DNS. And as an additional task, integrate a second DC server core. Thank you

  • I have a few suggection. 1. use the Ctrl+Alt+Inst instead, it will send Ctrl+Alt+Del to VM. it is easy to press "any key" during on CD boot prompt. 2. install Vmware Tool after the os installation will got the better screen resolution😃

  • Lovin these videos… Pls make video on setting up dhcp, dns, and web blocking and all other domain control features for windows server

  • I so much love your patience and attention to details. Thank you for this refresher course
