Personal nonproduction infrastructure

The environment
behind the evidence.

A Dell PowerEdge R710 lab supports hands-on Windows administration, virtualization, networking, Linux integration, and hybrid management. Retained snapshots establish what was observed.

PHYSICAL PLATFORM

Dell PowerEdge R710 · Proxmox VE

Retained platform inventory: Proxmox VE 9.2.3

pfSense

VM 100
vmbr0 + vmbr1

DC01

VM 200 · Windows Server
AD DS / DNS / DHCP

WS01

VM 300
Domain workstation

Linux01

VM 400 · Ubuntu
SSSD / VLAN 30

HVHOST01 → APP01

Documented nested Hyper-V subsystem, managed through SCVMM on VMM01.

Windows Admin Center

Administrative-laptop management over controlled remoting paths.

Azure Arc

Published hybrid evidence for HVHOST01 and VMM01; one SQL Developer instance.

Additional documented components · placement varies

Management, nested workloads, identity and endpoints

These documented components complement the four-guest Proxmox inventory above. They are not necessarily separate Proxmox guests, co-located on the same server, or simultaneously powered on.

HVHOST01 / APP01

Windows Server Hyper-V host with documented APP01 nested workload. HVHOST01 platform placement is not asserted here.

VMM01

System Center Virtual Machine Manager management server; the recorded management role does not establish guest placement.

SYNC01

Identity synchronization environment from a documented Cloud Sync configuration; distinct from later DC01-based configurations.

macOS Monterey

Cross-platform client and administration lab; physical versus virtual placement is not established in this diagram.

Windows Admin Center

Management interface documented on an administrative laptop; it is not a separate Proxmox VM claim.

Microsoft Entra ID / Microsoft 365 / Azure Arc

Cloud identity, productivity administration and hybrid management; these are cloud services or integrations, not additional local virtual machines.

Core retained inventory

Systems and responsibilities

System	Role	Retained allocation	Placement
pfSense / VM 100	Routing & firewall	2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM · 32 GB disk	vmbr0 + vmbr1
DC01 / VM 200	Windows Server 2022 · AD DS, DNS, DHCP	2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM · 80 GB disk	vmbr1
WS01 / VM 300	Windows domain workstation	2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM · 80 GB disk	vmbr1
Linux01 / VM 400	Ubuntu 26.04 · SSSD/Kerberos	2 vCPU · 2 GB RAM · 40 GB disk	vmbr1 · VLAN 30

These are captured allocations from the public platform record. Linux01’s current supported placement in that record is VLAN 30; older VLAN 20 records are historical. No current availability claim is made.

Administration & security

Identity, policy, and management

AD DS, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, delegated LAPS retrieval, scoped remoting, Windows Admin Center, SCVMM, pfSense, and Azure Arc connect the documented administration tasks.

Backup & recovery

Observe the actual result

Backup configuration and retained inventory are documented separately from restore validation. The isolated four-system cycle records narrow PASS results for Linux01 and pfSense, with WS01 and DC01 INCONCLUSIVE. A separate retained Linux01 restore drill is also documented.

No clustering, HA, RTO/RPO, recurring recovery assurance, or production DR readiness is claimed.

Validated workstation administration

ADM-LT01 · Hybrid administration workstation

Configured a dedicated Windows PowerShell administration workstation for VPN-based Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, and Hyper-V management, plus authenticated Microsoft Azure, Graph, Exchange Online, Teams, and SharePoint Online queries. The work is documented as personal-lab validation, not production administration.
