This will be running win 10 pro with hyper-v role active. As my main PC, I'll be interacting with that instance of win 10...
It also has a free ipa instance on it. Once I decide on my network configurations, there will be a smoothwall firewall/router and 3 security zones, file share based off of windows, an AD domain controller, probably an email server.. havent decided on which open source one I'll be using, a linux client or 2 (centOS and Ubuntu most likely). There will also probably be a squid server on there. Current project is to attempt to get active directory federated services to authenticate with HOTP or TOTP two factor authentication using the freeipa server as the authentication server.. and then having my windows AD client authenticated using 2fa to the ipa server.. Meaning native support for HOTP or TOTP in a windows domain.. and using a central authentication server without samba to authenticate my linux clients and windows clients. Once I get that authentication working, then its on to secure baseline configs using gpo.. would really rock if I could get the LDAP accounts recognized in AD for ad group membership.. gpo filters, etc...
IPA will probably be doing dns and dhcp roles, though I may kick dhcp over to smoothwall (using reservations.. dhcp is just practice playing with one).
There may be other uses that happen.. but first I have to get authentication setup.. then on to pxe boot servers hosting various images.. pxe boot clients that are inexpensive, remote patching capabilities (preferable to manage both windows and linux environments.. patch level reporting is required)... After that, probably Identity management tied to a sql speaking database (postgre, mysql, or ms sql lite)...
In short, its starting with the host os, and 3 vm's, moving on to probably 7-10 vm's in the future.. Low load so Im gonna keep core count down to 2-4 wherever possible..
Thats the short term goals.. the environment will be fluid based on what I want to focus on...
Ram settings.. it seems happy using the xmp 2.0 3466 profile that is pre-configured on the mobo.. The ram itself is rated for 3200 by gskill.. It just happens to deal with 3466 in my system.. Nothing special was done. I havent tweaked the settings manually. Im at 3.9ghz and 1.25 volts, it will do 4ghz at 1.3..
Adding the grill up front raised my temps 2-3C from no front on the case (exposed radiator), so there is an air flow restriction (duh.. look at it), but its still 7-10 degrees cooler than the front on without the grill.
