Dear Team,

I kindly seek your support and expertise regarding the optimal configuration for a new virtual machine that I intend to deploy on a Proxmox environment. I have already set up Proxmox on the physical server detailed below, and I am planning to create a VM that will serve as a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2025 Data Center Edition.

Additionally, this VM will also host WSUS, DHCP, and DNS roles. The setup is intended to support approximately 60 employees.

I would appreciate your recommendations for the following VM specifications:
  1. CPU (Number of sockets, cores, model, vendor)
  2. Display (Graphics card, video memory allocation)
  3. Machine Type
  4. SCSI Controller Type
  5. Hard Disk Type
  6. Memory Allocation

Physical Server Specifications:
  • Model: Dell PowerEdge R730
  • CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 @ 2.4GHz
  • RAM: 128 GB DDR4 2400 MHz
  • Storage: 2 TB SAS Hard Drive

I would be grateful for your insights on the most suitable configuration to ensure optimal performance and stability for this environment.
Thank you in advance for your valuable support.

Best regards,
