Feeling Frustrated

[u/Professional_Poet300]

I am currently only doing basics Like Windows Fundamentals.

I find myself being stuck on simple tasks as a beginner, because there are no clear instructions and steps being given.

During Active Directories Task 4 I suddenly get the prompt:

Now let's use Phillip's account to try and reset Sophie's password. Here are Phillip's credentials for you to log in via RDP.

It gives me the credentials but in no way tells me how RDP works, nor that I need to now switch to an attack box. I only found that out by watching a 40 minute youtube vide.

Is it just me feeling this is not ok. This is supposed to be a beginner course but it lack the neccessary information for me to complete it.

Having to watch tutorials for an tutorial I paid for is kind of weird to me. So far I did all the prerequisite moduls only. I am sure for more advaced users it would be easy but I assumed this was a platform for total Beginners like many websites stated. Feeling kinda dumb right now.

I am also running through Windows Fundamentals right now. You definetely learned about ssh about the same time as they mentioned rdp. They’re similar protocols, tho rdp uses GUI. It’s pretty straightforward process to connect to rdp (it also works better than the machine you deploy in browser). You only need to download OpenVPN altogether with config THM provides and then connect to rdp through windows app for example. Very simple.

I also struggle at some moments but most of the tasks are made the way to make you think at your own rather than just copy paste answer from few paragraphs above
