Windows Server 2003 Network Simulator 1.0

Windows Server 2003 Network Simulator is a lightweight training and testing environment that recreates core networking workflows from the Windows Server 2003 era. It helps students, administrators, and auditors practice configuring legacy services and troubleshoot classic network scenarios in a safe sandbox—without relying on old hardware or risking changes to production systems.

What you can do

• Explore and configure legacy roles such as Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, IIS 6.0, file and print services, and Routing and Remote Access.
• Build and visualize multi-node topologies to mirror branch offices, DMZs, or lab domains.
• Run guided, scenario-based labs that cover common tasks like domain setup, name resolution, DHCP scopes, Group Policy deployment, and web publishing.
• Snapshot and roll back environments to compare configurations and iterate quickly.
• Generate traffic, simulate failures, and trace packet flows to understand root causes and dependencies.
• Automate repetitive steps with scripts to accelerate lab setup and regression tests.
• Export and share lab configurations for collaboration or classroom use.

Use cases

• Training and upskilling on legacy Windows networking concepts.
• Planning and rehearsing migrations from Windows Server 2003 to modern platforms.
• Reproducing historical incidents for auditing, documentation, or forensics.
• Teaching foundational directory, DNS, DHCP, and policy concepts in a controlled environment.
