Installation

We'll set up both machines at the same time, so start by opening VMware and adding the other ISO:

Leave the product key empty, make sure to select Windows 10 Enterprise:

Do the same exact settings on the other machine

Select Typical (recommended):

Before running the VM, edit the settings:

Remove the floppy disk:

You can leave it at 2 GB and that'll be fine, but if you have 16GB ram its fine to jump this to 4GB like me:

Select Custom Install:

Click New and continue just like before:

Post-Installation

After the installation and language part, click Domain Join here, allowing us to login without using an email:

We are following a Marvel theme so call it frankcastle. Do the same on the other VM but name it peterparker there.

Create an easily rememberable password, I am using:

Password1 for frankcastle

Password! for peterparker (Set these passwords for easiness if you wanna follow along with AD Pentesting which is part of TCM's Practical Ethical Hacking. This tutorial is also based on that)

Say no to all of these and click accept:

Say no to cortana as well ✋🏻

To get fullscreen, follow the same steps as you did in the domain controller part:

Rename your PC to THEPUNISHER. Rename the other one to SPIDERMAN
