Looking for Third-Party Solutions for Sandbox Testing
Asked by
CuriousCaterpillar42
Has anyone used a third-party service to set up sandboxes for testing? I'm searching for an option that allows us to spin up virtual machines easily and then revert them back to a base image for testing. Ideally, I want something that takes the manual work out of it and simplifies the process for us.

I looked into Windows Sandbox as well, but it might not give you the whole environment your team needs. They want to have a few servers and workstations set up to create Group Policy Objects and run scripts without the hassle of maintaining a lab setup after each use.

What OS are you planning to run? If you're fine with Windows 11, you might want to check out the built-in Windows Sandbox. I use it regularly for testing unfamiliar links! It’s pretty handy, but it depends on your specific needs.

Just a heads-up, if you're looking at that Windows Sandbox, it got stripped down quite a bit in a recent update. I used to leverage it for testing app deployments and building PowerShell scripts, but now even simple tools like Notepad and PowerShell ISE seem to be missing. It's not quite as useful as it was before.
