Just finished migrating my Active Directory / DNS / DHCP from #VMware to #Proxmox 🚀

Built a clean #WindowsServer2022 DC (Exchange 2019 compatible), moved FSMO + DHCP, demoted the old DC, and reused the same IP.
Now my domain runs flawlessly on #ProxmoxVE 💪

🔌 Does #Proxmox support Realtek network adapters?

Yes, most Realtek NICs work out of the box — unlike ESXi, which often needs extra drivers.

🤔 Does your mini PC need ECC RAM for #Proxmox?

Not really. ECC adds error correction, but it’s optional.
For homelabs or light virtualization, non-ECC RAM is perfectly fine.

💡 Can you run #Proxmox on a mini PC with only 8GB RAM?

Yes, but it’s best for light workloads or LXC containers.

For multiple VMs or heavier services, 16GB+ is recommended.
