Any progress on Hyper-V Server 2019 download release date?

Hi Mary,

 

It's been a month since your last update on the availability of the Hyper-V Server 2019 download and I'm just wondering if enough progress has been made to at least provide a speculative ETA? (i.e. month, quarter, year)

 

For folks still on 2012 R2, it's not worth jumping to 2016 with 2019 more or less available.

 

Cheers,

Lain

  • The good news is, yes, there has been progress. However, it may still be some weeks before the media is available on the Eval Center. I'll alert everyone when it's available.

    At the moment it's not a big issue to rest on Windows Server 2012 R2. We have made the mistake and switch to the "17763.1.180914-1434.rs5" Release. It works and will be updated trough our WSUS.

     

    But we have found out, that Windows 1809 (Windows 10 and Server 2019) have a memory-leak when using a storage-pool. The non-paged-pool is growing (20MB per 50GB data write).

     

    Hope Microsoft fix it together with the release of Hyper-V Server 2019.
