Project Description

Set up a secure Hyper-V lab on your host PC and build your skills through eight hands-on challenges. You'll start with installing Active Directory onto the server. Then you'll practice creating a shared folder and calculating effective permissions, hiding shares from users without access, encrypting files using the Encrypting File System (EFS) and BitLocker, blocking access via IP addresses and firewall ports, and securing server traffic using certificates.
