Cygwin Setup Instructions for Windows (2012-R2 x64)
Pre-Setup Instructions
1. Deploy a new standard Windows 2012-R2 x64 image on a physical or virtual machine (VM) or install from a Deployment Kit unattend.txt script or install from media manually.
2. Setup forward & reverse DNS records on your DNS server (consult your IT admin/sysadmin if required) and set the hostname and primary DNS suffix on the machine itself if necessary (see Appendix B2.1)
Note: If required by your IT department, perform any other standard configuration (ie: create a separate admin account with a strong password, set timezone, date & time or set it to synchronize with an NTP server, etc.), server hardening (ie: disable default administrator logins, change default remote port (ex: RDP), install anti-brute force attack prevention software (ex: IPBan, RDPGuard), enable & configure local firewall, etc.).
