SOC Lab: Windows Workstation // Part 3 // Walkthrough

Use this windows tool to create your own Windows VM. We will create a Windows Workstation VM to simulate a regular user's computer, which will help us in simulating cyber-attacks. 

We finished creating and downloading the Windows VM. 

Next, we add the Windows VM we just created to VirtualBox. 

We configured the network the exact same way as the previous machine, Windows Server 2022.

After installing it, go to Network & Internet settings. Then click Change adapter options. 

We want this Windows Workstation to be connected the the LAN with pfSense and Active Directory. So we make the IP address within the same subnet as our other machines. For the Default Gateway and the DNS server we use the pfSense address. 

We sent a ping to the default gateways (pfSense’s LAN interface) to test the connection. It worked.
