Server arrived today. It took much longer than I expected to install Sever 2019, Totally different process from doing it on VMWARE.
See below:

All I want to do is play on the Dell PowerEdge Server but I must get back to the grind of CCNA. The server is much more fun to play with but I'm committed to CCNA. It's basically taken over my life. This was never in the plans but there's no turning back now.
Question
I start firefox and go to google all good.
However
"tracert www.google.com" has a few lines with destination host unavailable or something like that, as I understand these routers ignore the icmp echo, so what's the point of configuring a machine like this?
When you think you have made a procedure idiot proof your company employs a better idiot.
Generally it's the core routers that are set to ignore ping attempts to reduce the attack surface. The last thing anyone needs is a tier 1 provider having their interconnects hit with a DDOS attack.

I've been playing around with Windows Server 2019. I'm always amazed at the things that can be done. I learned about Folder Redirect months ago but kinda forgot about it until today...when I set it up. That's just one of the awesome things that can be done.
I really need to stay away from the the server until I'm done with CCNA. And that's exactly what I plan on doing.
I want to thank rthonpm again. XBYTE is a great company. The server looks practically new and it works great. It was professionally packaged and shipped. The price was a little higher but worth it.
I have a question for you rthonpm. What course would you recommend for learning Windows Sever 2019?
On a side note, rthonpm comes across to me as a very humble dude. Don't let that fool ya, he knows his stuff. I hope I can one day get to where he is.
Like I said earlier, I'm taking 2 separate online courses for CCNA. One deals with a lot of theory that is explained via lectures. Then there's the practical course that deals with programming switches and routers.
I've put in countless hours to get to this point. It's been grueling hard work. At the end of the day, I've completed 79 of 310 sections on 1-course and 33 of 193 sections on the other course.
I'm not gonna lie, it's like I'm standing in a deep hole looking up at a mountain.
The CCNA course isn't measured in hours or days. It's measured in months. The sheer volume of information makes me wonder how anyone can pass the test. It really doesn't seem possible. However, it can be done and I just gotta keep the faith.
The most important thing anyone looking to learn Windows servers can do is learn PowerShell. It allows you to do a lot of things that take considerably longer through the GUI tools. Even Linux systems can have it installed as well.
Almost every function of Windows can be configured or managed through it.
Here is the current list of all the cmdlets available broken down by areas of use: Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 | Microsoft Docs
Overall, the docs.microsoft.com site has a lot of really good resources for learning just about everything at a high level.
I've been on the IT side for so long now that most of my server knowledge is more or less baked in.

Powershell looks like monster to learn. Then again, that's the same thing I said about Command Line for Cisco. Now I love it. Do you use Power Shell?
I use PowerShell mainly for:
Creating and managing Hyper-V VM's
Creating printer ports
Adding DHCP reservations
Monitoring RAID arrays through a script that outputs a statement my monitoring server can read
Checking connections to SMB shares, and what version of the protocol is being used
It's an incredibly powerful language and I'm only using a fraction of what it can fully do, but the actual logic of it is pretty simple. It's just verb-noun then your conditional options like:
Add-PrinterPort -name "10.100.100.11" -PrinterHostAddress "10.100.100.11"
This creates a TCP/IP port of 10.100.100.11 with the same name
Or
Add-PrinterPort -Name "LPR-Ricoh-MP3353" -LprHostAddress "10.100.100.11" -LprQueueName "lp"
Which creates a TCP/IP port on the same IP as the first example in LPR mode with the LPR queue name of lp, where the port would show up in the list of available printer ports as LPR-Ricoh-MP3353 instead of the IP address.
When you have say fifteen or twenty ports to add being able to pipe the output of a formatted text file with the port name and IP you want, or just hitting the up key and changing the IP address and name is a lot faster than doing the same thing through the GUI, especially for LPR queues.
