See articles linked below. Microsoft is pretty much killing off what made Server Essentials 2012 and 2016 such great products for small business customers. The Essentials Role is dead, it is NOT going to be in Windows Server 2019 Essentials, Standard, or Datacenter. Terrible news for my customers and my business!

Thanks for your comment John. In some moments I will be upgrading my RDS 2016 template based on Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2019. I am looking for to have this smooth as my RDS template took me some time to be prepared.
As Windows Server 2016 doesn't support native OneDrive client I am really looking forward to have this working with 2019 version and utilizing the On-Demand feature. Current there is a logon script for OneDrive Mapper powershell that utilizes the WebDAV virtual mapping. I don't like this solution, it makes the redirected folders slow and prone for logon issues due to various scripts are needed.

Greetings @Jonathan OBrien Just an FYI to the MS Community. Within the Test Out Lab Sim for Network Pro and the Networking Operating course, the simulations for configuring and IP times out while using is trouble-shooting. It appears as though the DHCP Server option within Tools and the drop down menu of the Server Management does not appear and times out after 23 minutes. Happy testing!
Kind Regards,
