ESXi Server and Windows Server 2019

WINDOWS SERVER 2019 ON TOP OF VMWARE'S ESXI ON TOP OF VMWARE'S WORKSTATION.

Now ideally, ESXi is supposed to be installed on bare metal (on the hardware itself with no operating system). That was the initial plan when I made my PC. I was going to install ESXi and on ESXi create virtual machines that include Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, different Linux distributions, and maybe MacOS. The reason i scrapped this idea was that you would need another computer to access it through the network. Instead I bought a monitor and installed Windows 10 as my main operating system.One Windows 10, I installed VMWare Workstation (type 2 hypervisor). To practice using ESXi, I decided to create an ESXi VM which I learned how to do on YouTube. Using VSphere, I created a Windows Server and also a CentOS VM. I was able to console to them remotely as well. So in the end, I feel I made the the right decision which let me get hands on experience using different software and operating systems. With this Windows Server 2019, I have learned about Active Directory and other administrative tools. I created another Windows 10 VM and linked it to a domain on the server and it worked. I was able to log in as a random user. I am currently studying on how to configure permissions and policies to create a secure environment.
