So I wanted to do something different tonight, so I thought I’d mess around with Windows Server 2016, since that’s what we’re messing around with in my Network Admin class, so I decided to stand up an Active Directory server and join a windows 10 vm to it via Hyper-V …
I’ve come to the conclusion that the sole purpose behind that set up is so IT can big brother the entire company. It’s almost kinda scary how much control it gives you over the client computers.
I need to find a way to pervert this little lab set up with Linux somehow.

I think it would be fun to use Ubuntu clients because one of their features is to join an Active Directory domain. I’ve never played with it because work gets in the way. They aren’t interested in using Ubuntu as a supported client where I work. I am, but ‘they’ aren’t.

and this morning I did exactly that. It was stupid simple. I even did it via the command line.
So now I have an ubuntu vm and a windows 10 vm joined to my little homelab. Now time to make them do something.

That is pretty much what it is used for. There are a ton of Group Policies the company applies to make all the installations uniform and to prevent the average user from shooting themselves in the foot or doing something they really should not be doing at all.
