Alternatively in “Server Manager” -> Local Server -> Ethernet and right click on the “Ethernet” symbol. Assign a static IP address to the Domain Controller.For “DHCP” and “revert to HTTP” enter “n” for bothĮnable DHCP & DNS services on the domain controller.For “upstream gateway address” just press enter.This will be our default gateway IP for the lab. To do so select option 2 “Set Interfaces IP Addresses”
When prompted for the main menu, IP addresses have to be configured for the networking interfaces.IMPORTANT – when the VM is rebooted shut it down and remove the ISO from the VM’s disk settings! This ensures that it doesn’t load the installer on startup.Start the VM, click accept and install the VM with default options.Enable Adapter 2 and set it to “Internal Network”.On the CD symbol to the right select “Choose Virtual Optical Disk File” and select the downloaded ISO.Go to the VM’s settings -> Storage, click on the Empty optical drive.Add the pfSense ISO to the VM’s optical drive.Select type “BSD” and version “FreeBSD 64-bit”.Create a new virtual machine in VirtualBox.gz file when finished downloading (for Macs use tools like “The Unarchiver”) Download the latest pfSense ISO from and pick Architecture AMD and Installer ISO.Set up at least two Windows 10 workstations.Create at least two domain user accounts in Active Directory e.g.Internet access will be provided through the pfSense Firewall at a later step. This provides an isolated network where VMs can still communicate with each other. For this lab it is recommended to change or attach all VM network interfaces to “Internal Network” mode.Follow the instructions in Medium Lab guide to set up VirtualBox, a Windows 10 and a Windows 2019 server including Active Directory services.
