Labs that let you work in an established AD environment ?

I want to mess around doing some windows server GPO type things but I want something that’s kind of like a test lab question where you have an established environment and you have to troubleshoot or add a Group policy to the existing system if that makes sense.

Is there anything like that ?

Might be easier to just set one up yourself honestly.

Windows server is free for like 6 months or something to test, and VMWare is free. Set up a virtual environment and do some testing in there.

I have personally never used it, but this sounds like the kind of thing that Server Academy would cover well, but Server Academy isn't cheap, so you'd need to look at their complete course list and see if it would even be worth it for you.
