Understanding Windows Update Services product categories for Windows Server 2022 and Azure Stack HCI
The new Server 2022 LTSC has arrived. And it is a great release. Some customers still struggle to find their SA benefits and ISOs / licenses and RDSH licenses in VLSC, but it is officially released....
After further discussion with Artem, it is more understandable why this category.
While we agree the name is not a nice one. There are some facts that make the decision more understandable.Windows Server 2019 did not only include Windows Server 2019 but also Windows Hyper-V 2019, as well as Windows Server version 1809 (SAC). All shared the binary same patches.
So, the category name in the past was also misleading.This is the best explanation why the new name and no single category for Windows Server 2022 and a separate category for Azure Stack HCI OS 21H2.
Thank you Artem for taking the time on this debate.
p.s. if you want to learn more about Artem Pronichkin here is a nice interview and links.
I really like his blogpost on his webpage about the history and PowerShell transition of sconfig. Worth reading.
Can you give feedback how to improve?
HI Karl,
Just having some fun, as explaining something to make it easer to understand from a decision by MS to make it more complicated is funny, and especially, since I can see your native tongue is not English, I should be congratulating you on such a good effort and not making fun.
I did find this statement hard to understand.. find it in the near?
"You would assume that due to the naming convention you might find it in the near of Microsoft Server 2022 Azure Edition as a seperate product category.
