Hands-On Labs
Five labs that turn the theory into claims you can defend in an interview.
Lab 1 — Build the Virtual Lab
Install Hyper-V and create the VM environment the rest of the labs need.
Lab 2 — Active Directory, DNS & DHCP
Promote a domain controller, configure DNS and DHCP, then break each one.
Lab 3 — Group Policy & Delegation
Build an OU structure, write real GPOs, break them, and diagnose with gpresult.
Lab 4 — Firewall, VLANs & VPN
Build segmented networks with pfSense, configure VPN, and troubleshoot them.
Lab 5 — Troubleshooting Drill
Timed scenarios against your own lab. This is the interview rehearsal.
