Best/Correct Guide?

[Jouer]

Hi all. New here and looking to set up a Windows server. I've been digging through the forums and the site and am having a problem figuring out what guide to follow to get things up and running. It's pretty confusing. There are a bunch on the site as well as at least three different ones stickied in this forum! Each one says follow this guide exactly, etc. and each one seems different. I don't want to waste a bunch of time starting out with the wrong guide or something that has me installing outdated versions of things, etc.

From what I can tell, the Huppy guide seems like the most recent one, but it runs 26+ pages and also seems to have "evolved" over time. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance and apologies if I've missed something obvious here.
