This project simulates a real-world enterprise IT environment in Microsoft Azure, demonstrating my ability to deploy, configure, and manage a production-style Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) infrastructure from scratch. The lab includes user account management, secure file sharing, Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and domain-joined clients.
Build a cloud-based IT infrastructure that mirrors a corporate environment, featuring:
- Domain Controller (Windows Server 2022) and Client (Windows 10)
- Fully functional Active Directory with OUs, users, and security groups
- Group Policy for drive mapping, RDP access, and targeted configuration
- Static IP addressing, custom DNS, and VM provisioning in Azure
- File shares with NTFS permissions and access-based enumeration
In enterprise IT, Active Directory and Group Policy are foundational for managing users, devices, and security. This lab simulates the responsibilities of an IT Support Specialist or System Administrator, showing my readiness to support real-world infrastructure and deliver secure, scalable IT services.
