In my <a href="https://ithinkvirtual.com/2023/04/23/nested-vsphere-home-lab-part-2-active-directory-certificate-authority/">previous</a> post, I covered the deployment and configuration of an Active Directory and Microsoft Certificate Authority server(s) for the nested lab environment.</p> <p>Next, I will cover the steps used to deploy the nested lab via William Lam&rsquo;s Automated Nested Lab Deployment <a href="https://github.com/lamw/vsphere-8-lab-deployment">script</a>. This script makes it easy to deploy a set of vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) VMs, along with a VMware vCenter Server Appliance virtual machine to manage the nested lab environment.</p>
