SMB over QUIC Roadmap
Hello everyone! I had seen somewhere back in October(?) 2022 that Microsoft plans to implement SMB over QUIC for Azure File Shares (without needing Windows Server 2022 (Azure edition). Is this part of the roadmap? I've also seen somewhere that there are plans to eventually make SMB over QUIC available for non-Azure editions of Windows Server 2022. Is this true as well? and if so, is there a roadmap to when this will be available in a Windows Server insiders build? Thank you!SolvedThomas1111970Feb 15, 2025Copper Contributor3.6KViews1like4CommentsSMTP Server removed in Windows Server 2025

Does Windows Server 2022 or 2025 Data Centre edition provide real time collaboration or concurrent editing (through workspaces etc) by multiple users on Microsoft office documents hosted on it locally. So for the sole purpose of having concurrent editing feature of office documents, can Windows Server 2022 or 2025 Data Centre edition become an alternative to using Sharepoint server hosted locally or on premise.sn_01Feb 13, 2025Copper Contributor10Views0likes0CommentsWhen is Network Profile Issue for Domain Controllers going to be at least acknowledged?
Since the insider builds from 25398 to the latest 26227 all have the same bug where the domain controller on the builds will show the network category as Public instead of DomainAuthenticated and the only way to fix it is to disable and re-enable the NIC after each reboot. There has been a few bug reports submitted in the feedback hub and in this community many months ago. It would be at least be nice to be acknowledged.CWooldridgeFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor2.4KViews1like26CommentsWS2025 Preview (26100.1) fails to boot after joining WS2016 forest
I installed WS2025 Preview (Datacenter, 26100.1) in a virtual machine and after joining the domain, the box is rendered unbootable (boot loops). I can reinstall and do other tasks as a standalone server with no problem but joining the domain immediately bricks the VM, 100% of the time. The forest is running at functional level WS2016. I disabled all GPs and verified with gpresult they are not applied. Safe mode boots if you need me to poke around. Am working to get a kernel debugger attached. No memory dump is generated and disabling reboot on errors yields nothing.WithinRafaelFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor1.2KViews1like11CommentsKerberos KDC Errors
Hello, I have been testing Windows Server 2025 with AD DC role and sometimes in event log I can see error. The Security Account Manager failed a KDC request in an unexpected way. The error is in the data field. The account name was and lookup type 0x108. Just a note - I did not remove the account name; it is not just there, not even once. I'm unable to connect it to some "action", so it looks a bit random. In data field there is only C000000D (in words) which is every time the same. Event ID is 7. Is this okay or anything to worry about?martinpernicaFeb 12, 2025Copper Contributor2.5KViews1like13CommentsServer 2025 Domain Join Error ASN.1

Good morning. I am experiencing issues with an updated installation of Windows Server 2016. The task manager reports 8.1GB of memory used (which normally tends to grow indefinitely), and I can't figure out what is using this memory. The growth is about 1GB per day. However, no processes appear that justify the 8GB of RAM used. Even using RAMMAP, I can't find anything significant... On the server, additionally, we have SentinelOne as antivirus and Apache-Tomcat. Thank you for your help.Solvedandrea_rinaldiFeb 09, 2025Copper Contributor52Views0likes2CommentsServer 2025 Core ADDS DC, Network Profile Showing as "Public" and not as "DomainAuthenticated"
OS: Windows Server 20225 Standard Core (no GUI), build 26085.1 Role: ADDS, DNS ForestMode: Windows2025Forest DomainMode: Windows2025Domain Platform: Hyper-V guest When standing up a clean Windows Server 2025 using server core and configuring it as a domain controller, the network category (profile) always shows as "public." A clean load of Windows Server 2022 with server core as a domain controller has the same behavior. However, in Server 2022, the fix is to add DNS as a required service to the nlasvc (Network Location Awareness) service. Once that is done, the network category reflects "DomainAuthenticed" and persists between reboots. In Server 2025, the nlasvc service does not have the same requiredservices as Windows Server 2022, and it does not start automatically. Even after configuring the nlasvc service the same way it is in Server 2022 and adding DNS as a required service, the network category still reflects "public." The only way to get the network category to properly reflect the "DomainAuthenticated" status is to disable and reenable the network adapter after each reboot.8.5KViews10likes50Comments
