- Awesome NVMe Storage performance in Windows Server 2025 Insider Preview Build 🙂
- Get started with the Windows Insider Program for Windows Server Today! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/business/server-get-started
- So many cool new things coming from HCI to WS 🙂 other things are cool too 🙂 like new AD improvements :-) Happy Azure Stacking!!!
- A lot of new and really great enhancements. Is there a chance that some of the older existing tools would also get some attention, i.e. ability to configure gMSA as a runas account for a service or a scheduled task in MMC? Also, I've been always wondering how powerful should my server be to make the task history tab (in MMC) load a bit faster than in a minute or two?

- Why do we need Arc for hotpatching?? I need to run it on systems completely disconnected from the Internet.
- NedPyle
Microsoft
Hi. Arc is used for licensing of the Hotpatch service. Machines will not need to be continuously connected to the Internet, but they will need to be at least once within 30 days.- This renders this feature unavailable to the only mission critical servers where patching without a reboot would be worth paying extra for the privilege.
- Very happy to see the focus on value-add propositions.
- Excellent congrats!!!
- will these hotpatches be delivered via wsus?
- EldenChristensenWe are working on having it published to the Catalog so they can be consumed by WSUS. There is also a dedicated session on Hotpatching tomorrow.
- Heather_Poulsen
To learn more about Hotpatching, tune in to tomorrow's session: Hotpatching: Improving server security and productivity.
- What is the release schedule for Server2025? What is the schedule for HLKs? Is this covered at at this Summit?
jepatrickHi Matteo, thanks for your interest! We are not yet releasing date-specific information for Windows Server 2025. We are targeting late this year, and there will be more news in coming months.- Ok, thanks!
- EldenChristensen
We have Windows Server LTSC releases every 2 - 3 years, you should expect it to be GA second half of this year. The HLK will be available very soon with RTM, sounds like you are an OEM / IHV, chat with your MS rep and they can give you crisp timelines under NDA.
