Windows Server 2025 an Nanoserver

[Lutti1972]

Hello everyone,
Windows Server 2025 is already heading in the right direction.
Especially in the production environment where you still have to be completely self-sufficient without a connection to the cloud.
The only thing missing is that you can install Windows Nanoserver 2025 again as a VM with local domain connection for ASP.NET and services with .NET8.

Hello,

I completely agree with your points. The evolution of Windows Server 2025 is indeed commendable. Also, the ability to be self-sufficient in a production environment without a cloud connection is a significant aspect.

Like you, I also strongly advocate for the inclusion of the NanoServer edition as VM in Windows Server 2025. The NanoServer has always been a robust and efficient option for specific infrastructure scenarios and reinstating it would be a step forward.

Moreover, the NanoServer edition provides an ideal environment for microservices. Its lightweight nature and smaller attack surface make it perfect for running applications in a more isolated and secure manner. This would be particularly beneficial for ASP.NET and services with .NET8.

Best regards
Michael
