This is about 4 years late.
Just a casual reminder - which is in my form I filled out - that DFS-R's built in health report in Server 2022 can't even be opened by the default browser.
In fact, I can't find a browser that WILL open the health report. Why? Because it was clearly built for IE9, and in the past decade nobody thought "hey, we should maybe make our monitoring and reporting better in this principle technology".
I assume instead it went like this: "Oh it's fine they'll just have to buy SCOM, and two FTEs to run SCOM but what's money anyways, everyone can just crack open their cash vault to pay for something that should probably be built into the software itself and not rely on a cumbersome dinosaur monitoring platform that only people with PhDs and/or 10 years experience in running System Center software can run"
Criticism aside, thank you for posting this survey.
