That is awesome. Thanks!!!
Quick question. How should I spec out the vm?
I was thinking the following, which may be overkill.
4gb of ram, 40gb vhd, 2 vcoresI don't think I've given it more than 1-2GB in the past. HDD will depend if you log etc.

20GB is probably plenty. If you are thin provisioning then 40GB might make sense. But that is a lot. This isn't Windows

How did your install go?

The 1st shot was 1/2 was successful. I was having issues connecting to the database and updating. This morning I decided to just start over and make my .vhd smaller too. This time it went off without any issues at all. I just loaded the openfire configuration window and did a happy dance.
-
I am not sure what the database connection issue was but the updating issue had to do with a hardware firewall rule.

Congrats!

Nice job!

Everything seems to be working as intended. I just need to add users and groups. Possibly add a few firewall rules to my gpo. I did run into a couple issues but adding a few firewall rules on the Openfire Server seemed to do the trick. Thank you all for your help. I doubt I would have been as successful without your help. Thanks to all of you Linux is not as evil in my mind now! I call that a good day!

Linux is almost always easier, what often makes it hard is the assumption that it is going to be hard and trying to do things in a Windows or harder way, when in fact, it is normally a fraction of the effort.

My biggest deal was that when I took the class, my book was a few versions behind the OS version they gave us. All of my homework was explaining what it should do and why it wasn't doing it. It was a huge turn off for me.
After this experience, I will not automatically disregard Linux as a viable option.

The turn off should have been for the educational process
That's where the problem was.
