We loved having so many of you from our Windows Server community at Ignite, whether you were there in-person or watching online. For the vast majority who weren’t able to make it, I wanted to share some great Windows Server highlights that you can watch at your convenience:

 

What’s New in Windows Server v.Next – This session, led by Jeff Woolsey and Elden Christiansen, featured previews of what we are working on for the next version of Windows Server. Watch the video to catch up on enhancements that are available now, including Hotpatch for Desktop Experience in Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition, as well as some sneak peeks, including improvements for File Server, Hyper-V, and Storage. If you like what you see in the session, try it out! You can try many of these upcoming features through the Windows Insider program.

 

Do More with Windows Server and SQL Server on Azure – If you like demos and rapid-fire feature news, you will love this Ignite breakout session with Jeff Woolsey and Bob Ward. They cover some of the newer capabilities of Windows Server and SQL Server in Azure, including Microsoft Defender for Azure SQL.

    The only thing that needs to be resolved now is Microsoft Office hosted on Remote Desktop.  There have been announcements about Office being no longer supported on RDS.  However, there are many clients that still need it.  Some of whom, are mine.

     

    Yes, yes, I am well aware of your Azure offerings.  While the cloud continues to be a part of my client's long-term strategy, there are some workloads, such as RDS, that will never move to the cloud.  Please continue to support what we have that has been well debugged and just works.
