Before we can start with the implementation guide I want to give a brief description what key functionalities must exist.
The following components has been installed and configured:
- vSphere ESXi host (physical or nested)*
- vCenter Server (Appliance)*
- HA/DRS Cluster
- vSAN Cluster
- Active Directory Domain Controller (including DNS)*
- Microsoft Certificate Authority Role*
- NSX Manager*
- FTP Service (for backing up NSX Manager)
- CIFS-Share for UEM User Profile Archive and Config files
*Required.
This will be the first post in my Horizon Guide implementation section. Since my focus is on Horizon I will not go through each of the steps that are involved in setting up the foundation. If you want to get a feeling of the purpose of my blog series: Check it out here.
In my design guide I will write a little bit about general design decisions regarding the management & virtualization topic. In my implementation guide I will quickly go through the setup I have chosen. As a side note I want to remember you to always use English Language and Keyboard Layout :-). Going into native US-Mode for all kind of setup will keep a lot of pain away from you.
