Building an Active Directory Homelab
Introduction
In this lab, I set up an Active Directory Domain Controller using Windows Server 2025 and connected a Windows 10 client to simulate a real-world enterprise environment.
This homelab allows me to practice:
- Domain configuration
- Group Policy
- User management
- Attack simulations
- Blue team logging & monitoring
Network Overview
- Windows Server (Domain Controller)
- Windows 10 Client
- Internal NAT network
- Static IP for DC
- DNS pointed to DC
More screenshots and attack scenarios coming soon.
