<span lang="en">Hey!
I thought about putting up a lab environment with the following servers.
DNS 1
DNS 2
mail Exchange
Mail MailEnable
Webb01
Webb02
MySQL
I have 5 WAN addresses , as I was going to use me to DNS 1 + 2 , Mail, and Web servers .
But my question is if there is any good manual / video on how to set this up in a smooth manner . All movies solidCP website is not much help when it comes to cluster installations.
Or is there some kind person here who can help me to explain and or to help with my setup ?</span>

Hello,

There's not yet a good manual or video for that (manual section is still a work in progress).

I can ofcourse explain and help on your setup without a problem (My company does alot of paid deployments for hosting providers so i got the knowledge, just didn't have time to write it down / make a video for it).

some small tips:

For your deployment you can consider using the powershell deployment script (it's not 100% perfect yet, but i would expect it to be working/ production ready within 1 - 2 week(s) ) it will setup the roles, and software mentioned above with all hardening (security) steps and other recommended practises.
for DNS make sure you go to advanced --> disable recursive queries, also remove all root hints for security
For web servers if you do your own setup (without deployment script) make sure you remove the users group from C: and give local service and network service read + execute rights and administrators and domain admins full control.

We can also provide professional (paid) support if you need an extra set of hands/ someone to check over your deployment or do the full setup for you.

Regards,

Marco
