Feature request:
Server Manager:
All Servers > Add Servers > Active Directory: Update OS filtering options (dropdown)
Currently it does stop with Windows 10 / Server 2016 LTSC
Problem:
One cannot filter to show only servers with Server 2019 or Server 2022 or Azure Stack HCI, or Server SAC
Request:
Please add
- Windows Server 2019 LTSC - based on OsBuildNumber
- Windows Server 2022 LTSC - based on OsBuildNumber
- Server Azure Stack HCI - based on OSName string
- Windows Server version (SAC versions) - based on OsName string, as you do not have to update this every 6 months
Notes:
I am aware you do not plan to update GUI tools anymore. imho it should not be much of work to add more some more Powershell lines here.
Usecase: Server Manager still offers functionality that is not part of Windows Admin Center, and never will be by design.
Server Manager only Features:
- Roles / Features post configuration. This is still something that needs to be done via Server Manager (for GUI users). Example: AD CS, AD DS, WSUS etc.
- Health Dashboard
- At a glance Performance metrics / warning
- Viewing and searching eventlogs across servers
- Best Practices Analyzer
- managing Disks, Volumes, Storage Spaces on different servers in one view
- powerful filtering options for views
etc
WAC is an amazing tool for the usecase but centered on a "per Server" configuration and such cannot fulfill certain tasks as Server Manager.
Thank you very much.
