Updating Server 2016
I am trying to update our servers, all our servers are Server 2016 Standard, Version 1607, OS Build 14393.4225. We would like to get all our servers updated to Version 1803, however, Windows Update does not pull anymore updates. When I looked on Windows Catalog, I saw several updates for 1803. Does anyone know the best install packaged to update to Version 1803? Thank you.
Server 2016 Standard v1607 is a Long-Term Servicing Channel release. Server 2016 Standard v1803 is a Semi-Annual Channel release. The Semi-Annual Channel releases are generally core only. In order to move to Server 2016 Standard v1803 (a core only version) you'll need to clean install it.

If I have to do a clean install, it almost makes sense to go ahead and upgrade to Server 2019. Are there any recommendations out there about upgrading to Server 2019? Thanks!
Yes, it could make some sense to move to Server 2019 though you do have some time to think about it. Please close this one by marking answers and open a new thread for this new topic.
