05/15/2017, 9:05 PM@User Manage whats that? and Hyper-V is coming so 4 as Jarian. All labs are isolated, all 4 have a GW on the public network, with RDP into one server on each isolated environment. I also have a MDT server to automatically deploy DC and MDT to each of these isolated environments without lifting a finger - u

user
05/15/2017, 9:13 PMVery interesting, since there is no one "size" that fits all! - u
user
05/15/2017, 9:52 PMYeah, me & @Dave Brett run a dedicated NUC as MGMT, the rest is built automatically with the automation framework. While @Jarian Gibson might have a DC across all HV, I have dedicated on each one to test compliance of AF for the various HV. Lots of tests, but most are 99% automated - u
user
05/15/2017, 9:54 PM@User What HV & apps are on your MGMT NUC? - u
