Where is Hyper-V Server 2019?!

Anyone know when MS will post it again for d-load??  Very frustrating since I need to rebuild my Hyper-V server and the new image is not here for dload!!  :(( (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalce...

What a joke!!!

 

Yeah, totally pathetic.  We know the products better than their own people.

I just gave-up since 2019 has a bug to not allow Remote Desktopping in, and went back to Hyper-V 2016 Server. And Im happy for now.

MS is going the way of the Dodo!  You hear me, Satya??!!

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/WSRelaunchBlog
       
      THEN!!
       
      "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?

    Mary Hoffman  ok as long as the issue with Remote Desktop has been addressed (Because there is no point to even administer it if I cant do it remotely) then I want to give it another look.  Meanwhile I have already setup my Hyper-V 2016 server and that was a pain in the A so I don't relish having to do all over again with 2019.  Im running an Intel NUC as the host, and had to hack the NIC driver to make it work on server 2016, and all setup through PowerShell so not a picnic! ;)

    Do you have any release date for this?

    Does this new version include bugs discovered with remote access?

    What about fixing the problem with Docker and Hyper V?

    https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/Virtualization-Documentation/issues/945

    I am available to receive test versions of this image and give you feedback if you find it interesting.

      We are in the process of validating a fix associated with the Hyper-V Server media.  We don't have a release date at this point, but we are actively working to get this validated and released.  Hyper-V Server 2019 does not include support for containers (nor did Hyper-V Server 2016).
