Home Lab Setup - Part 3 of 3

Home Lab Setup Part 3 of 3 — Active Directory, Nessus & Log Visibility

The lab isn't done until there's a domain. Join The6: https://www.cover6solutions.com/the6

In Parts 1 and 2 we built the foundation and stood up Kali + a custom Ubuntu target. Part 3 completes the environment — Windows Server 2022 promoted to a Domain Controller, a Windows workstation joined to the domain, Nessus Essentials scanning the lab network, and basic log visibility in Windows Event Viewer. This is what an assessment-ready lab looks like. Every account you create tonight will be a target in the July Cover6 SOC Lab series — the same Odapeeka University environment used in Cover6: First Watch.
