Announcing a Windows Server AMA
We are very excited to announce a Windows Server AMA! The AMA will take place on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. PT in the Windows Server AMA space. Add the event to your calendar and view it in your time zone https://www.myeventurl.com/Events/Details/263. An AMA is a live text-based online event similar to a “YamJam” on Yammer or an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit. This AMA gives you the opportunity to connect with Microsoft product experts who will be on hand to answer your questions and listen to feedback. The space will be open 24 hours before the event, so feel free to post your questions anytime beforehand during that period if it fits your schedule or time zone better.
Update 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.
Classic 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.?Virtualization 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?
