A Technology Journey
The Domain Name System, or DNS, service is probably one of the most critical services to run in a network. Setting it up in the best available configuration is just as important to ensure there is no downtime.
In my lab, I am running two Microsoft Windows Server 2022 guests with the Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services role installed. This also installs the DNS Server role.
For my domain, I am going to use Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and build two domain controllers (DC1 and DC2) in a new forest called aaronrombaut.com. The domain controllers will provide critical services such as Domain Name System (DNS), authentication, and time services to other domain joined computers and servers. VMware Horizon (and other products) components (VMware Horizon and VMware App Volumes) rely on domain joined Windows Servers still, so without domain controllers, there would be no VMware Horizon Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to build.
