Where is Hyper-V Server 2019?!
About the time we were getting ready to re-release Windows Server 2019 after the October recall, a new issue was discovered affecting only the HYPER-V media which prevented us from re-releasing it along with the rest of the Windows Server 2019 media. We have a fix and are working on getting the media validated and published as quickly as we can. We recognize that this is a pain point for our customers and apologize for the delay.
Any update on an ETA for Hyper-V 2019 ISO? Any chance it is dropping very soon as I can't reach the Evalcenter site at all today?
Thanks.
Edit: Eval site is back up for me again.
Back up.....but takes you in a circle when you try to go to download the ISO! Cmon man, don't get all our hopes up when the ISO is STILL not bloody posted!
See this! --->>> "Your evaluation may be accessed here:http://aka.ms/WSRelaunchBlogTHEN!!"Updated on January 17, 2019: The Windows Server 2019 evaluation media is now available at the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2019-essentials."Really sick of this **bleep** merry-go-round! Who's with me??!!- Out of interest rspeaker, why not just run Windows Server Core instead of Hyper-V server?
Are you only running Linux VMs?NZ_BenThomasvery simple: I do not desire to run server core. Hyper-V server is still less resource-intensive than server core, because its a dedicated Hyper-V role server, and leaves me all the resources to my many VMs I'm running. No, I'm not running any Linux VMs.
Anyway, a non-issue at this point. I am happily running Hyper-V 2016 in case you missed my post above. :)
Technically the blog is correct in that the Evaluation versions of Windows Server editions were posted to the Evaluation Center. Hyper-V is a free product that also just happens to be made available on the Eval Center along with other free products like the App Compat FoD. I wish I had better news for you as to the availability - all I can offer is that the issue is being worked and to again ask for your patience.
Have also been waiting patiently for the Hyper-V 2019 evaluation media, as would like to run this on a new physical server, as opposed to tying down a Windows Server Standard license to that specific physical host. However, I need to have the guests set up and running this week. Do you think there is a chance that the Hyper-V Server 2019 media will be available this week? Otherwise, will have to use the Server Standard license, which I'd like to avoid if possible.
Thanks
- I second that 😣
