What's complicated for me is the installation of a separate VM to perform a service that is already part of Windows server.Looks complicated to me
It's immaterial here. As I stated, this is a test domain, not a production domain. I'm now able to set up any Windows server and clients just as they'd be in production for testing purposes. Interaction with the host isn't important to me, since there is no "host" in my production environments.Is the client blocked from accessing other PCs on the host's physical LAN?
I'll get back to you with an answer to your question.
Good point. I'll try out Internal network and see how it works.use of the Host-Only network… for the WS 'router'. This… may… be a point of "leakage" from the test network, too. Internal network instead of Host-Only would cut off host access and/or block the 'leak'…
