Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 is live on the Microsoft Evaluation Center!!
Hi. I'm sorry, but this is confusing. You see, I've possessed a copy of Hyper-V 2019 for a long time. Downloaded it from Microsoft too. So, what are you saying here exactly? Are you announcing a new version? Or are you announcing the availability six months late?
MasterMysterious It was live very briefly last fall and recalled due to issues discovered after release, issues that could not be serviced. You should replace the version you have with the one just released as it addresses those issues.
That's probably a couple of gigabytes of download and a whole re-installation. Isn't it possible to just fix what I have with an update or service pack?
Also, what issues? Since I have installed the problematic release, have I been losing data or doing something damaging to myself without knowing?
MasterMysterious Please refer to this earlier post. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Server-Insiders/Microsoft-Hyper-V-Server-2019-release-delayed/td-p/386951
Hi Mary,
I am aware of KB4489899, and installed it on two systems, one pulling upgrades, the other does not. I was hoping the re-release is now a stable path forward.
I am willing to accept manual workarounds, but in essence I am hoping for an upgrade path rather than clean installs. Whether the upgrade updates only what changed, or replaces everything but preserves my app installs and configuration - I don´t really care.
Thanks, Joachim
