Windows Server 2012 R2

This is virtual machine number three just recently installed and configured. Similar to my Windows Server 2019 VM, this 2012 R2 is configured via Active Directory as the root level domain in it's forest, which I will be expanding. One of the best ways to protect accounts is to enable and enforce strong, complex password policies. As shown below, I have configured and enabled this policy for a user logging into my domain for the first time.
