Where is Hyper-V Server 2019?!

Anyone know when MS will post it again for d-load??  Very frustrating since I need to rebuild my Hyper-V server and the new image is not here for dload!!  :(( (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalce...

Any update on an ETA for Hyper-V 2019 ISO?  Any chance it is dropping very soon as I can't reach the Evalcenter site at all today? 

Thanks.

 

Edit: Eval site is back up for me again.

Back up.....but takes you in a circle when you try to go to download the ISO!  Cmon man, don't get all our hopes up when the ISO is STILL not bloody posted!

See this!  --->>> "Your evaluation may be accessed here:

THEN!!
 
"Updated on January 17, 2019: The Windows Server 2019 evaluation media is now available at the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2019-essentials."
 
Really sick of this **bleep** merry-go-round!  Who's with me??!!

    Out of interest rspeaker, why not just run Windows Server Core instead of Hyper-V server?
    Are you only running Linux VMs?

      NZ_BenThomasvery simple:  I do not desire to run server core.  Hyper-V server is still less resource-intensive than server core, because its a dedicated Hyper-V role server, and leaves me all the resources to my many VMs I'm running.  No, I'm not running any Linux VMs.

      Anyway, a non-issue at this point.  I am happily running Hyper-V 2016 in case you missed my post above. :)

    Technically the blog is correct in that the Evaluation versions of Windows Server editions were posted to the Evaluation Center. Hyper-V is a free product that also just happens to be made available on the Eval Center along with other free products like the App Compat FoD. I wish I had better news for you as to the availability  -  all I can offer is that the issue is being worked and to again ask for your patience.

      Have also been waiting patiently for the Hyper-V 2019 evaluation media, as would like to run this on a new physical server, as opposed to tying down a Windows Server Standard license to that specific physical host. However, I need to have the guests set up and running this week. Do you think there is a chance that the Hyper-V Server 2019 media will be available this week? Otherwise, will have to use the Server Standard license, which I'd like to avoid if possible.

      Thanks

      Is it perhaps an idea to inform us a little bit sooner? Even you must agree, the long silences are painfully quiet... 🤐

      Some of us are really following, out of confidence, almost every step Microsoft takes and want to be on top of things. know how evolution shapes te future, or visa versa. Why not sharing these statuses on the Windows Server blog, I guess many of us would sure appreciate "still alive" messages regarding the OS's reparation activities. (to my opinion)

      Thanks anyways it is all appreciated !
