I was able to connect the Windows 2025 Core Server to my Virtual Domain. The Core version does not have a Graphical User Interface. It is not as intimidating as a Linux Command Line. I ran into a couple problems. I tried to assign it an IP address that was already taken (IP Conflict). The Windows System does not tell you that right away. I was confused on why I could ping the Domain Server but the software would not connect. After doing some research I found out the static IP had to be changed. It still did not connect after that. So I had to re-add the correct DNS IP (same as Active Directory Server in this case). When I logged back on the GUI Domain Controller and added the Server to the Server Manager. The server manager can actually add roles and features to servers it controls such as web hosting.

Passed Security+ & upgraded my RAM
Yesterday I passed the Security+ Exam. I did not like the fact the exam does not show you the specific questions you missed. I thought I remembers all the abbreviations after reading a book and using a different online test simulator, but I was lost when a few of them came up. I also upgraded my RAM in my laptop. My laptop was close to using 100% of the initial 16GB Ram when I would bootup the Windows 2025 Server on VirtualBox. So I upgraded the RAM to 64GB. I eventually will try to have two servers and a Virtualized Windows 11 PC running on the Virtual Network.
