Course Description

"Excellent course. Instructor answered my questions."  - Doug

"One of the best."  - Ahmed


This course will walk you through the process of creating a vSphere 6.7 lab on your home computer step-by-step. You'll learn how to use VMware Workstation 15, and will create multiple virtual machines.

When you are done you will have a completely functional vSphere 6.7 lab environment, complete with a router, domain controller, virtual NAS device, and multiple ESXi hosts. You will also have vCenter deployed, and will be able to launch the vSphere Client and manage your environment.

The course is about an hour in length, but if you are following along at home the process to completely build your Home Lab should take about two-three hours.

What you’ll learn

  • Create a vSphere 6.7 home lab on a computer using VMware Workstation 15.

  • Use the AutoLab tool to create a complete test environment complete with domain controller, a virtual router, and a virtual storage device.

  • Deploy ESXi hosts and vCenter, using either the vCenter Server Appliance, or Windows vCenter

Are there any course requirements or prerequisites?

  • You need a computer and VMware Workstation 15 installation media.

  • You will need to obtain license keys for VMware Workstation and vSphere. I will show you how to get evaluation licenses.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is meant for anyone who wants to get hands on experience with vSphere 6.7 without investing in expensive hardware.

  • Anyone preparing for the VMware Certified Professional (VCP), vSphere Foundations, or VMware Certified Associate (VCA) exams will benefit from building this home lab.

Nothing works. The autolab config is outdated so too are the software versions

By Alfredo Diaz Martinez on 6/22/2022

Some of the installation failed and could not find why, besides that need more details on the configuration for all the VMs deployed, I was expecting more on the installation and configuration part.

First off not sounding mean or racist, I can understand the instructor. In college I passed every course that I could understand the instructor as they spoke. The teachers that had bad verbal skills were super hard to follow.

By Michael E Bullock on 7/23/2020

Great course, simplified and easy to follow. I like how there is explanation on why something is done and the extra bits of information of things that could go wrong and how to fix it.

By Edwin Chi on 5/12/2020

The course is simple to follow and a lot of clear information is provided on where to download the tools needed to complete the lab setup. Thanks again Rick, much appreciated.

By Anonymized User on 5/12/2020

Overall the course was great and I achieved what I set out to do which was to build a lab environment for future projects. It is good that I can go over certain parts of the course to re evaluate what i have learnt and put into practice. The dowside is the initial costs of the hardware and software needed, it is worth looking deeper into what software you have to get before starting.

By Gordon Slaton on 10/27/2019

I've been looking to build out a enterprise type home lab. Autolab was mentioned by a coworker, and this course really helped get things rolling. Note - this course is for Autolab, if you are looking for ESXi, vCenter, etc. training, this is not it. And VMUG is the best deal going out there.

By Andy Jenkins on 6/25/2019

Really enjoyed the course and did what it said on the Tin!, I know have a nice shiny home lab that I can now use for various training / education purposes!. It would have been good to have had an extra chapter showing some further activities on deploying VM's onto the Hosts and some common admin tasks. But other than that, really pleased with this course. Thank you for creating!!.

By Anonymized User on 6/13/2019

As a brand-new comer to vSphere, LabGuide's AutoLab instructions for creating a VCP Lab are very good, and certainly much appreciated. That being said, Rick's walk-through of the guide helped me tremendously. I am so stoked to have a home lab! :D

By Hk8991216 on 4/7/2019

Love the teaching style. Would recommend to anyone who is open to spending some money on purchasing VMware Workstation. Thank you for putting this course together.
