What is Microsoft doing do battle the decline of Windows Server in the cloud? This is based on the news coming from the cma battle in the UK: https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/24/microsoft_cloud_cma/ This coming from someone that has invested 15+ years in learning and using Windows Server. Are there any hints as to how Microsoft might look at fixing this?248Views0likes0CommentsWindows Server 2019: The component store has been corrupted. Error 0x80073712
Hi all, I'm trying to install the Server Backup feature on our 2019 Server, but it results in this error: Any ideas on what may have caused this, and how to solve it? The server was installed about 5 months ago, and the installation is basically stock, not much changes made. Thanks in advance.33KViews1like12CommentsWindows Server 2016 - Nano Server
Hey Guys, I am doing some studying for me Server 2016 Exam and am trying to figure out or make sense of nano server. I think i have a basic understanding of it, but am confused buy this link here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/deploy-nano-server "Starting in Windows Server, version 1709, Nano Server will be available only as a https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/using-insider-container-images#install-base-container-image. Check out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/nano-in-semi-annual-channel to learn what this means." Does that mean that Nano server cannot be used as a File Server, Hyper-V host or Join A domain? My understanding with nano server is before version 1709 you could setup and run the following: 1) File Servers (Scale out, Scale Up) 2) Run as a the HOST OS on bare metal to allow for hosting VMs (clustered or not). 3) Run Docker Containers 4) Run IIS Web Servers Has the Above Changed? As mentioned i am having a tough time understanding Nano server itself and the changes made since 1709, and let me assure you the link provided when you click on "Learn what this means" is definitely not helping matters any.

Microsoft added some amazing new features and improvements to Hyper-V over the past few years. A lot of them you can use in Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V today, but there are also a lot of features hidden in the user interface and they are also included in Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise. I think this list should you a good idea about some of them. https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2017/09/10-hidden-hyper-v-features-you-should-know-about/2.5KViews2likes0CommentsServer Config
Hi all I've recently been tasked to upgrade our server to Win Server 2016 but coming for the SBS Server realm things are a little different going to Win Server 2016 Standard. Our current config consists of 2 servers. First server is a SBS 2008, it is our AD, File, Print, DNS, SQL, Exchange servers. The other server is a Server 2008 basically a FS, backup and Remote desktop. We are a small office with 20 users and the primary app is the homegrown SQL App and Exchange. Going forward I am purchased 2 boxes that will run server 2016 standard. My question is how to allocate the new new boxes. Old servers are going to be retired or used as backup. I am thinking the following setup Box #1 3GHz/ 32GB RAM/ 3 TB Raid 10 SSD / 24 cores Server 2016 Standard File and print services Nano VM #1 - SQL Server 2016 Nano VM #2 - Exchange 2016 Box #2 2.4GHz / 32GB RAM / 2TB Raid 5 7200RPM Drives /16 cores Server 2016 Standard File and print services AD, Backup Server, DNS, Remote desktop My question are Is this the best way to utilize the Servers/ virtual servers? Should each physical server have 1 VM or should they both reside on Box #1 with is significantly faster with a Higher speed CPU and SSD? Should AD be on the slower Server? or on the same server as Exchange and SQL? The SQL definitely has to be on Box #1, but Exchange does not. Does running a server in a Nano server slow it down? Please send me your suggestions. If you think another config would work better please feel free to forward it to me. Thanks in Advance Sandor1.7KViews0likes1Comment
