Where is Hyper-V Server 2019?!
Or are there still bugs in the last ISO that the patch can't cover?
Lancaster84 If you have the original Hyper-V RTM build, you may manually apply http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4482887 and from that point on you should be offered updates via WU as usual. Without that update, the original RTM build would not be offered updates. This was one of a number of issues that we needed to address before re-releasing the updated image.
Mary Hoffman OK, Im not totally sure what I am about to ask, but...
In the past, there was a "Hyper-V 201x" ISO I could download from my.visualstudio.com, which was basically the "free"/"already licensed" version of Hyper-V server.
Will this be the case here also? Is that what is hoped for at the end of the month? Will my.visualstudio.com get it earlier than the general population?
Also, Im just curious, and I hope this isnt hijacking the thread, but is there any official word on whether the "MSDN" server 2019 ISOs on my.visualstudio.com will be updated like Win10 has had? Like "Windows server 2019 (Updated March 2019)" or similar?
Deleted Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 will be available as a free download on the Microsoft Evaluation Center. Although I cannot commit to a date, it has been our practice to refresh the published Windows Server LTSC media at least once some months after initial release by applying the latest cumulative update and re-publishing the updated media.
Mary Hoffman I manually applied KB4482887 to original installation of Hyper-V RTM build that I installed in October before it was pulled, and even with this KB4482887 applied, it seems that the server is not offered with latest 2019-03 CU KB4489899 via scan for updates using sconfig.cmd or via PowerShell.
I can see the KB4482887 installed, to be sure I've also manually applied the latest SSU package,KB4470788 but scan for updates isn't still offering 2019-03 CU KB4489899 yet.

PS C:\>Is there anything else needed to do except manual installation of the KB KB4482887 or the latest 2019-03 CU is not yet offered automatically to Hyper-V servers intentionally? To be sure, I checked and on regular Windows Server 2019 the latest CU (KB4489899) is already offered to install, when checking for updates via sconfig.cmd.

machv Thanks for letting us know. We'll try and reproduce the issue in-house and see what the issue is.
Hey, folks, this post has gotten quite lengthy and includes multiple issues which is making it increasingly harder to follow/respond to. I'm going to close it to new comments. Please start new posts and try and keep them limited to a single issue per post. Thanks, all!
