2024-11-05 - Active Directory 1 - Installing Windows Server in a Proxmox VM

    I had Doug, my instructor, wipe all the tickets so I could claim one of the tickets in his ticketing system he custom created for the class, and so I could start from scratch, and he was gone, I didn't have any direction on what specs the VM needed to have to I can do Active Directory on it, so I looked at the one that was still up and currently in use, looked at its specs, saw that it had 60 GB of hard drive space, 8 GB of RAM, and 6 cores on the CPU. So I replicated those. I set the iso to be used for the VM as Windows Server 2019 and started the VM. I entered the console and it started loading and installing Windows Server. I got to the screen asking for what hard drive and the list of drives was empty. 

    Proxmox wasn't recognizing the drive because of a driver issue, the driver wasn't installed. So after playing with it for a few minutes, finally closed the console and turned the VM off, examined the hard drive that the Win Server AD already in use was using. The Bus Device mine was using was SCSI without SSD equaling because SSD emulation wasn't selected. Changed the Bus Device IDE and checked SSD emulation under the hard disk tab for creating the VM. 

    Now the hard drive list window was populated with that option and selected it, Windows Server installed successfully. There isn't anything else here to really say, most of the work was just creating the VM and then editing it real quick so Win Serv would install.
