A small signed app that stands up the full 7-VM AD CS lab on your own Hyper-V. On first run it builds from a Windows Server ISO you supply — your own copy, or a free Microsoft evaluation it can help you download. The lab targets Server 2025 Standard, but any supported Windows Server ISO works, so there's nothing to license from us.
A small signed tool you run on the management server after finishing a hands-on lab. It checks your work against the module's objectives and, when everything passes, prints a one-time verification code to paste into the lab's final step to unlock the next module.
Run it on the management server (MGMT01) after the lab steps, signed in with the same details shown on the lab page. A validation code is issued only at a 100% result.
Root checker (Module 5, Part 1)
A small signed tool for the Module 5 lab, run locally at the air-gapped offline root (ORCA). It verifies the offline root's build, configuration, and hardening and, on a 100% result, prints the first of the two pass codes Module 5 requires. It is deployed to the root with the lab; this download is for carrying it back yourself if you need to.
Run it at the offline root's console, signed in with the same details shown on the lab page. Carry the code it prints back to the website and enter it as the Section 6 code — the management-host checker gives the second code in Section 8. Both are required to pass Module 5.
