Prerequisites:

1. Packer
2. Vagrant
3. Virtualbox/Vmware Workstation(i have used VirtualBox for demonstration)
4. Curiosity/Laziness

The Challenge/Goal:

Let’s create two machines, Machine A and Machine B.

Machine A (Domain controller)-

1. Machine A is the domain controller
2. Domain Name is “auror.local”
3. Has DNS role
4. Create a user “Adam” with password “Pass@123”

Machine B-

1. Machine B is the machine to join to domain auror.local
2. Machine B should have Chrome installed
3. User Adam is configured as an administrator
4. Firewall should be off
5. Machine A and Machine B must be in the same subnet.

For example:

Machine A : 10.0.0.9, Machine B: 10.0.0.19

Test Cases

• RDP into Machine B with user “Adam” should be successful
• From Machine B as user Adam, the command “net use \\auror.local” should result in command completed…
