Authentik Security, Part Three

Authentik Security, Part Three

Configure Authentik So I'd like to connect my lab's Active Directory to Authentik. It would be great to use the accounts already set up there, and I'll need to know that's working first before I connect my other applications right? So this

Build Domain Controller DC-03, Part Four

This project got away from me through the holidays. I've had DC-01 powered off for the last month so I'm pretty sure it is more than safe to decommission it completely and finish this project. Configure DHCP Failover Between DC-03 and DC-02 * On DC-03 I open

Build Domain Controller DC-03, Part Two

On DC-01 and DC-02 I disable the DHCP failover configuration. Next I make a backup of the DHCP configuration on DC-01 and copy the backup file to DC-03. I then restore the backup from DC-01 on DC-03. Then I authorized DC-03 and de-authorized DC-01. I test to verify that DC-03

Coming back to that error I experienced connecting to the server from Hyper-V Manager on my desktop: …Check that the Virtual Machine Management service is running and that you are authorized to connect to the server.

Well with my OS on a trusty thumb drive I plug it into the server and came back to my desktop. I finish the Lifecycle wizard and the server reboots. It boots right up from the thumb drive and begins the Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 installation. I create a 75GB

I got to play some more with my new server this weekend! I plugged in some ethernet cables. What an old hodgepodge collection of cables I have sitting around. Maybe at some point I’ll clean up my cabling. I sat down and read through the server’s documentation. I
