DC through windows OS for experimental lab

[giper45]

First of all, thank you for this awesome project!
I would like to know if, according to your expertise, it would be feasible to setup a Domain Controller for Windows through your lightweight Win machines.
I am trying to develop a security playground in WASM, in the same way I used to do through Docker, and this project is really one of the most interesting things I have looked to until now.
Even if you could think that my request could be insane, or impossible, thank you very much your contribution in the WebAssembly ecosystem world!

A good starting point would be to create an XP or 2000 image in qemu, and play around with it in v86: https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/master/docs/windows-xp.md

Networking is somewhat messy and under-documented (suggestions welcome), but your options are roughly:

• Running a relay server, see Is it possible to network v86 instances together inside the browser?  #1094 and regarding performance, IP networking under FreeDOS #1175 (comment)
• Hook up multiple v86 instances on the same local machine with some JavaScript, e.g. https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/master/examples/two_instances.html or Is it possible to network v86 instances together inside the browser?  #1094 (you will need to configure static ip addresses)

In addition, I would comment these options:

• Relay servers (such as websockproxy and node-relay) have built-in DHCP and DNS servers (if it won't interfere for Domain Controller), and you can also have to access to the Internet, local networking works as expected: How to access localhost running in archlinux in host system or new tab? #783 (comment).
  Note that this applies only to WebSocket servers with tuntap, it didn't work for wisp and fetch as they use internal DHCP and DNS stacks.
• The second option should suit your tasks, you may not have access to the Internet, only within the local network. To avoid using static IPs, you need to run DHCP and DNS server on your Domain Controller server.

And ... the domain join occurred!

Followed steps:

• Create images (winxp and win2k3 using the XP guide
• Configure on QEMU the DC on win2k3 server using the following guide
• Created a dsp user in the domain controller
• Modified two instances example to configure the domain and run the two images on the browser
• Join the XP instance using the user dsp (steps here)

The user profile is loaded in about 5 minutes, but everything works. No Internet connection (I was interested in realizing the domain network)

I really like it, even if it is not useful... it is just very funny for me realizing a DC in the browser!!!

Thank you for your suggestions, and the project, I will be happy to contribute in my spare time.
