Wild couple of weeks

The last couple of weeks have been intense to say the least.  I woke up late this morning but considering I did not go to sleep until 3:30am, waking up a 7:30 am was pretty good prospective wise.  It has been crazy the with all the behind-the-scenes activities I had to complete.  I had to work on my proxmox install with getting my vm's working again.  I decided to redo some of the vm's (server 2022, wazuh, and windows10).  It went a lot better than I thought it was going to go, which is surprising to say the least.  Trying to work on my AD troubleshooting using powershell as well as all the other stuff I am trying to ingest ( wireshark, nmap, metasploit, docker, burpsuite and bash).  So much to learn and it is definitely different from what was required for me to know at my last job.  The things I have learned so far put me light years ahead of where I was a year ago.  The philosophy of staying in my lane was a bad choice in retrospect and challenges me to do better in the future.  Being vocal and persistance should not be bad things in IT.  I promise to do better by first getting organized with my schedule.  first I need to make time for engaging in forums and all the free labs available online.  today is a turning point for me.  May the force be with me! LOL

Happy Thursday 🙂

Server Issues

Well, there seems to be an issue with the proxmox server.  I am not able to launch 2 of the vm's (windowsserver2022 and windows10test).  They were both working yesterday but will not boot today.  Unfortunately, I did not backup the windowsserver2022 so I will have to do it from scratch but the windows10test1 I did do a backup of it; well, I did snapshots.  Oh well, that gives me a chance to test restoring vm's using the snapshot if that is possible.  I can't remember if I did a backup of my AD config for windowsserver2022.  I need to check the network drive for the backup.  crossing fingers and toes

Happy Tuesday 😕
