Event details
So far all the AMAs i have watched are mostly focused on endpoints. Can we have a session solely for servers/VMs? It seems that this category is being left out.
An AMA tends to focus on the questions being asked. More questions got asked about endpoints, so they get handled in the AMA. (Your message also did not ask any questions about servers :D)
That being said, there is
http://aka.ms/SecureBootForServer
with resources for servers.
Agreed. I forget where/when it was said, but I think in a previous AMA one of the group said they're not doing any CFR or High Confidence Buckets for servers.
I don't think most IT Pros are super aware of that and the implications.

Microsoft
CFR (Controlled Feature Rollout) only targets client devices and doesn't help with gaining confidence on servers. Servers often send little or no diagnostic data to know if the updates are proceeding as expected and that limits Microsoft's ability to add servers to the High Confidence data. That means servers should be monitored and certificates should be deployed as part of managing them.
One exception is with virtualized environments where both clients and servers are running on virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V, Azure, etc.). As of the June release, there were a significant number of virtualization solutions added to the High Confidence database and in these cases, the updates may automatically apply to High Confidence VMs.
