How to Set Up a Windows Server Load Balancer with NLB on Windows Server 2022 Network Load Balancing (NLB) is a built-in Windows Server feature that distributes incoming TCP/UDP traffic across multiple servers in a cluster. It is designed for stateless workloads such as web servers, FTP servers, VPN endpoints, and other internet-facing applications. Unlike […]
Why Accurate Time Matters on Windows Server 2022 Time synchronisation is not a cosmetic concern on Windows Server — it is a hard operational requirement. Kerberos authentication, the default protocol in Active Directory environments, refuses to authenticate tickets when the time difference between a client and a domain controller exceeds five minutes (the default MaxClockSkew). […]
What Is Server Manager? Server Manager is the primary graphical management console built into Windows Server 2022. It provides a single pane of glass for installing and removing roles and features, managing multiple remote servers, reviewing event log alerts, monitoring service status, and running the Best Practices Analyzer. It opens automatically after login by default […]
Introduction to Task Scheduler on Windows Server 2022 Task Scheduler is the built-in automation engine in Windows Server 2022. It allows you to run scripts, executables, and PowerShell commands automatically based on time-based or event-based triggers. Understanding Task Scheduler is essential for server administration — from automated backups and log rotation to patch management scripts […]
How to Configure Network Settings with PowerShell on Windows Server 2022 PowerShell’s NetTCPIP, NetAdapter, and DnsClient modules provide a complete, scriptable interface for every network configuration task on Windows Server 2022 — from renaming adapters to setting static IP addresses, configuring DNS, managing routes, and testing connectivity. These cmdlets replaced the legacy netsh commands for […]
How to Set Up and Use Windows Admin Center on Windows Server 2022 Windows Admin Center (WAC) is Microsoft’s browser-based management platform for Windows Server, Windows 10/11, failover clusters, and Azure hybrid services. It replaces many of the fragmented MMC snap-ins — Server Manager, Disk Management, Device Manager, Services, Task Manager — with a unified […]
How to Set Up Windows Server 2022 Core (Minimal Installation) Windows Server Core is a lean installation option that omits the Explorer shell, the Start menu, and most graphical management tools. The result is a server with a dramatically reduced attack surface, lower memory footprint, fewer patches required per month, and — critically — fewer […]
How to Automate Windows Server Provisioning with PowerShell and Terraform on Windows Server 2025 Manual server provisioning — spinning up a VM, installing Windows, running through a checklist of post-install tasks, joining a domain, deploying an application — introduces inconsistency, takes hours per server, and is impossible to reproduce reliably at scale. Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solves […]
How to Configure Hyper-V Shielded VMs on Windows Server 2025 In a traditional virtualisation environment, a rogue Hyper-V host administrator can mount a VM’s virtual hard disk, extract credentials from the offline OS, or attach debugging tools to a running guest — all without authentication. Shielded Virtual Machines address this threat at the hypervisor layer. […]
How to Set Up Windows Server Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) on Windows Server 2025 Patching a Windows Server Failover Cluster without disrupting workloads has historically required careful manual coordination — draining roles, applying updates on one node, rebooting, waiting for roles to fail back, then repeating across every node. Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) automates this entire orchestration. […]
