Active Directory Unable to reset user passwords
I am managing a Windows Server 2025 Active Directory environment with client machines. I created a test user and enabled the option “User must change password at next logon.” I then provided a temporary password to the user, expecting them to get the prompt to change it on first login. However, when the user attempts to change the password, they receive the error: “The user must change password before signing in.” My goal is that when I provide a temporary password to a user: They get the prompt to change the password at next logon. When they change it, it should not throw the “user must change password before signing in” error. I need guidance on how to achieve this so users can reset their passwords successfully.

Windows Server 2025 Desktop Experience: Hyper-V cannot be installed
I have a lab with various Servers running Windows Server 2025. Some of them are installed without Desktop Experience, some with. Aside from Desktop Experience, the VMs and the operating are configured the same way using automated setup scripts. I exposed the VirtualizationExtensions for all VMs on the host using Set-VMProcessor -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true. Moreover, I configured all VMs to use static memory assignment. However, when I try to install Hyper-V on Windows Servers 2025 with Desktop Experience, I receive the error Hyper-V cannot be installed because virtualization support is not enabled in the BIOS. The issue occurs without any updates installed as well as with KB5050009 (2025-01 Cumulative Update for Microsoft server operating system 24H2 for x64 based Systems) installed. On machines without Desktop Experience, Hyper-V can be installed without any issues. As a side note, on VMs using Windows 11 24H2 on the same host, I can install Hyper-V without any issues.What is Microsoft doing do battle the decline of Windows Server in the cloud?
What is Microsoft doing do battle the decline of Windows Server in the cloud?

Are there any hints as to how Microsoft might look at fixing this?

Error when creating task using command prompt in Windows 2019 docker container
My host is Windows 2019 standard. It contains docker image which is also based on Windows 2019 standard core (no GUI). This is the image I am using: http://mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/aspnet:4.8-windowsservercore-ltsc2019 When I run following command on host then it works fine.

Hi all, I'm using a Windows Server machine to build my code with Bazel inside a Windows docker container. I want to use a docker volume to keep the Bazel cache between builds. When using Windows 10 Pro or Windows Server 2022 Standard Edition I run into https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/17283. However, when using Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Edition everything works fine. I would understand if it wasn't working only on Windows 10 Pro as https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/17283 . From the Datacenter specification, I cannot find what justifies this difference. I know this seems like a Bazel bug but the fact that it works on the Datacenter Edition and not on the Standard Edition makes me think there is more to it. Does anyone know what causes this difference?
