Pronouns in AD
Pride month related question from a colleague, will an AD attribute for pronouns be added in a future AD schema update?davidmbahmJun 02, 2021Brass Contributor4.8KViews2likes7CommentsVirtualization improvements for non-HCI installations
Microsoft states that Azure Stack HCI is an ultimate virtualization host. But it comes with its own downsides: first, it is quite costly (for us, for example, it costs 66% more, than Windows Server nodes, because it does not include Windows Server licenses for VMs), second - it has quite restrictive hardware requirements (not everyone needs high-end, for some workloads HDDs and 1Gbit network is enough). What do you have in bag for those organizations which do not need hyper-converged infrastructure (or cannot use it due to hardware constraints) and would like to build their virtualization infra using regular Windows Server as hypervisors?exchange12rocksJun 02, 2021Iron Contributor2.7KViews1like6CommentsHotpatch or equivalent for on-prem servers
The hotpatch feature for Azure is great but on-prem servers are long overdue for a replacement or new method of patching that isn't WSUS or WSUS managed by Endpoint Manager. We limit our product sync and every month the server chokes for hours trying to synchronize the WSUS database after updates are released. Help me not have to stay up to 10 PM trying to simply release patches.SolveddavidmbahmJun 02, 2021Brass Contributor5KViews3likes5Comments- SteskaljJun 02, 2021Iron Contributor2.7KViews1like4Comments
When will KSR Kernel Soft Reboot be supported on Windows Server (not HCI) ?
This feature is incredibly useful, why limiting it to ASHCI ?AJ_CastleJun 02, 2021Copper Contributor2.5KViews2likes4CommentsWill Windows Server get feature parity with Azure Stack HCI?
Will Windows Server get feature parity with Azure Stack HCI? There are many environments that would benefit from the enhancements made in HCI, but they cannot connect back to the internet at all. We need parity between the solutions.SteskaljJun 02, 2021Iron Contributor2.3KViews1like4CommentsWindows Server Certification Path returning?
Role based certs are mainstream now, but I think there's a opportunity for Hybrid Specialization with Windows Server. MCSA, MCSE batdes were widely recognized in the industry. Are there any plans to bring them back for WS2022?AJ_CastleJun 02, 2021Copper Contributor1.3KViews1like4CommentsWindows Admin Center as a Native App
When will windows admin center be coming as a native app, or at least an electron app? This has been a feature request since windows admin center had been announce and the response has always been in the future, but there have been no further updates.SteskaljJun 02, 2021Iron Contributor1.6KViews1like4CommentsClassic server roles need your love as well
During the last two releases of Windows Server (2019 and 2022) you put your effort mostly in virtualization technologies (specifically S2D, containers and so on) and hybrid solutions. But other, "legacy" roles (DHCP, DNS, RDS, WDS, RRAS, WSUS, IIS) also need your love. When will they get refresh, new features, long-needed bugfixes etc.?exchange12rocksJun 02, 2021Iron Contributor2.7KViews2likes4CommentsUpdate to Active Directory Migration Tool
Are there any plans to update ADMT? The current version hasn't been updated for quite a few years and has a couple of showstopper issues with Windows 10. While we prefer Quest's MMAD for larger AD DS migrations it would be great to have ADMT as a free alternative for smaller projects.Kent ComptonJun 02, 2021Brass Contributor3.3KViews1like3Comments
