You've been assigned to deploy a complete Windows Server infrastructure for Hexworth Corporation's new satellite office. Apply everything you've learned to build a production-ready environment from the ground up.
Situation: Hexworth Corporation is expanding operations to a new branch office in Seattle. The facility requires a complete Windows Server infrastructure that integrates with the existing hexworth.local domain. You are the sole engineer responsible for this deployment.
Your mission: Build, configure, and document a fully functional branch office infrastructure including domain services, networking, storage, and security - all within the simulation environment.
Deploy core infrastructure services
Establish branch office identity services
Configure network services
Set up file services
Implement security policies
Deploy Hyper-V resources
