Hyper-V with a VM RDS Server running on Server 2019 RDS - Users Office 365 Outlook Crashing
We have a brand new Dell R7515 with a new AMD EPYC Processer. The OS is Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V with a VM RDS Server running on Server 2019 Standard. We decided to go with a shared license Office Pro Plus installed on the RDS Server. Each user is licensed in O365 with an MS 365 Apps for Enterprise License. There was nothing special configured about each user's Outlook except Cached Mode was enabled since employees are using O365 Groups. Shortly after cutting over users, we found that some employees were experiencing crashes when sending emails outbound. The crashes appear to be completely random, unrepeatable and occur only a few times a day. The only consistent theme was 98% of the cases; the employee was hitting send right before the crash.
