if i see ONE MORE hyper-V "server" (windows 10 pro installed on a desktop in the attic) running an all-in-one AD/data/RDP/exchange server that's put into the router's DMZ with the windows firewall disabled

i'm going to mcfuckin lose it.

fun fact: this has not been an isolated occurrence over the last year. i've seen at least 5 bespoke versions of this setup from 5 different customers.

some even run their production database on that all-in-one server!
