Windows Server

[Trig0r 173]

Anyone else running the newest builds (1803) of Windows Server?

 

Having a quick read it looks like they're dumping the Essentials Role, haven't read, or played enough to see if this is being replaced by something else or if those that use it are going to have to stick with 2016...

 

Wonder if they'll finally get around to decent hardware passthru..

Not looked at it myself, I only have one client running essentials and they are moving on in the next couple of years so I am good there, but it will be a pain if they remove it as it makes it much harder for smaller clients who often use it to "get their start" into real server systems.

 

I do hope for real hardware passthrough as well, I have a couple of PCI devices I would like to pass through to a box

Proper passthru is all they're really missing IMHO, might grab a copy and have a play now the UTM VM isnt running my network...

I should imagine they'll be a Server Hom for the old Essentials crowd, in the same way as theres a Windows 10 Home...
