Over the past couple of years, I have thought about starting a blog time and time again. I created a few Github.io based blogs and spun up some posts.
I have never taken it seriously…
My goal from now and for the rest of 2024 is to publish a of minimum 1 blog post per week.
My Goals
- Improve writing skills.
- Gain a deeper understanding of technologies.
- Share the knowledge that I have gained over the past 10 years.
Where will I start?
Home Lab Setup
Working in the corporate world I have constantly spun up lab environments. Typically these labs are provided by work. Before being in IT I ran multiplayer servers for video games I enjoyed, I always had some type of lab.
I want to run through the full process of creating a lab, starting specifically with Active Directory. A full on-premises domain.
Active Directory, Group Policy, System Center Configuration Manager, AD Certificate Services, Branch Cache & DFS, and more.
The first set of blog powers will be related to a local Active Directory environment specifically. Managing an environment the way of the old gods.
Then, and only then will the series transition into Migrating to the cloud and adopting a hybrid environment.
I have experience in managing both on-prem and cloud environment and experience migrating between the two.
I think this will be a great place to start.
Who knows, maybe someone will actually read this one day.
