🚀 Tutorial: Bare Metal Windows Server Installation & Hardening

Hey folks! If you're spinning up a new dedicated rig, getting Windows Server 2019/2022 installed and properly secured on bare metal is step one.

Over at Leo Servers, we just published a comprehensive guide covering the A-Z of bare metal deployments. We specifically tackle the pain points most sysadmins hit, like injecting hardware RAID drivers during setup and utilizing PowerShell for fast network configuration.

What the full guide covers:

UEFI/BIOS optimization for Supermicro, Dell, and HP.

Custom partition layouts via DiskPart.

IPMI remote virtual media mounting.

Automated driver updates and Windows firewall configuration.

If you are provisioning dedicated servers, this is the checklist you need.
