A quiet journey through discovery and understanding.

  • MyLab: VMware Horizon Connection Server

    Overview I am going to install VMware Horizon Connection Server 2303 (current at the time of writing) on Windows Server 2022. The only modification to the hardware is to increase the Memory to 12 GB. This will provide the connection server with ample memory for the operating system as well as the VMware Horizon Connection…

  • MyLab: VMware Workspace ONE Access

    Overview I am choosing to install VMware Workspace ONE Access 22.09.1.0 (current as of this writing) so that I have a single pane of glass to access shared applications as well as virtual desktops. Workspace ONE Access will also provide a means to standardize authentication mechanisms through on-premises or cloud directories.

  • MyLab: VMware vSphere

    Overview I am using VMware vSphere 7.0.3 for this lab. Before starting the deployment, ensure there are forward and reverse DNS records created for the ESXi host that vCenter will be installed on, the vCenter Server appliance itself, and optionally any NTP servers. Ideally, there should be localized NTP.

Notes from practice

I use this site to document systems, configurations, and lessons learned as I work through real problems—both professionally and through personal experimentation. The goal is clarity: understand how something works, explain why it behaves the way it does, and make it reliable and repeatable.

These notes are written primarily for myself, but shared openly in case they help someone else avoid a dead end or reduce frustration. If you’d like to learn more, visit the About page.

If you have questions or comments, you’re always welcome to contact me.
