Tracking all the pieces for this were a bit tricky. The Microsoft Network Client uses 16-bit drivers, which are also used by Windows for Workgroups 3.1. (Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is a separate system with 32-bit networking that uses 32-bit drivers).

You need the Microsoft Network Client installer, and the Windows For Workgroups 3.1 drivers, originally called [wfw31.exe]. It can be found here: https://archive.org/details/pcntn3.386. Note that wfw31.exe is a 32-bit Windows self extractor, you can extract it with 7-zip. Put the contents (pcntnd.dos and oemsetup.inf) in C:\drv\amd.

The Microsoft Network Client can be found on the NT 3.51 Server CD (Clients\MSClient\Disks). It can also be found here: https://archive.org/download/MSCLIENT30 (the two executables are DOS self extracting executables, they can go into a directory together).

Base installation

Run Setup.exe, in DISK1 on the NT 3.51 CD, or extracted from the downloadable archive. When you get prompted for a network adapter, select unl

I have an OpenBSD 7.0 monitoring server that's been sitting around for years to hold monitoring infra. Let's get it going with VictoriaMetrics. Seems good things come to those who wait, since now VictoriaMetrics is a better option than what was available when the infrastructure was set up in early 2022.

Firewall Config and Install URL (setup)

Set up config for /etc/pf.conf, we will probably need to unblock more for monitoring later.

Setting up a standalone DC on Alpine Linux

I used Alpine Linux 3.60
the Chrony NTP daemon in the system is sufficient for being a domain controller now.
Ideally, the VM should have a static IP accessible to the clients so that it is easy to set the clients to access the domain server running on the VM. This isn't strictly necessary but may cause issues if the IP address changes.
Replace SAMDOM and SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM with the names of your domain and realm.

Optional: Setup doas and add a local user so we can SSH in more easily

apk add doas
adduser user wheel

The following cloud-init user data can be used to set up a system with RDP, and a user, and a password:

#!/bin/sh
adduser --gecos "" --disabled-password user
adduser user wheel
echo user:thelongchickenpassword | chpasswd
setup-desktop xfce
apk add xrdp xorgxrdp doas ublock-origin
rc-update add xrdp
rc-update add xrdp-sesman

Twilio: Set up international forwarding number

I have multiple mobile numbers, and customers in various countries. I setup Twilio numbers in the various countries to allow customers to reach me using a local call, and change the forwarding number to whatever my local mobile number is.

Set up a service for call forwarding

The call forwarding service created here will be used by any number that needs to forward to my actual mobile number. As I travel, I change the forwarding number to whatever mobile number I'm using in that location.

On the left pane, go to Functions and Assets > Services. Click Create Service, enter a name.
- If "Functions and Assets" is not visible, go to Explore Products, it's under Developer Tools.
Click Create Service, enter a name (I used "forward-call").
Create a function named forward call. Put this code in:

Setting up a test deployment environment in VMWare Workstation

Turn off DHCP on the host-only network adapter in Virtual Network Editor. It uses 192.168.254.0/24, but you can use whatever IP or network you prefer.

Create a Windows Server VM to run a domain controller, DHCP, and WDS.

Create a VM using mostly normal settings. Make the main network adapter have NAT or however you connect VMs to the internet, and then add a second network adapter on the host-only network.
Set the NIC on the host only network to a static IP (no gateway, we will use the DC for routing. Don't do this in prod):

netsh int ip set address ethernet0 192.168.254.254 255.255.255.0

GUI - Find an object location in search results / dsa.msc

In the search window, choose "View" > "Choose Columns..."
Select "Published At" from "Columns avaialble", and choose "Add >>". Click "OK".
You may need to expand the column.

You can also find an object's location in the properties window on the "Object" tab as the "Canonical name of object."
