Install and Configure Windows Server 2019 on VMware — Beginner Step-by-Step Guide
In this tutorial, we install and perform the initial configuration of Windows Server 2019 inside a VMware Workstation virtual machine — the perfect starting point for building a Windows Server 2019 lab environment for IT study, certification preparation, or testing.
We take you from a blank VMware VM through a fully configured Windows Server 2019 installation, ready for Active Directory, DHCP, and other server roles.
What you will learn:
✅ Downloading the Windows Server 2019 evaluation ISO
✅ Installing Windows Server 2019 with Desktop Experience
✅ Initial server configuration — computer name, updates, and firewall
✅ Configuring Windows Server Manager for role installation
✅ Setting up a static IP address
✅ Preparing for Active Directory Domain Services installation
Who this is for: IT students and junior sysadmins building their first Windows Server 2019 lab environment.
