Enable KDC Proxy Service outside of RD Gateway
Currently to be able to use the KDC proxy you need to enable the RD Gateway, but the use of KDC Proxy is needed outside of RD Applications. Please add the option to enable the KDC Proxy as a stand alone feature.

Add build number to WSUS
WSUS does not show the build number of the OS. If you add "Version" to the overview, the version of "Windows Update Engine" shows up. Because 1903, 1909, 2004 and 20H2 use the same Windows Update Engine, the number stays the same.
We want to see the build number of the OS versions! And not the Windows Update Engine version!
20H2 should show up as 19042.572 and not as 19041.546!

Windows Desktop client list of connections instead of icons
In the Windows Desktop client (Remote Desktop for WVD), there appears to be a limit of 15 characters in a connection name before it gets truncated and ... is added. This causes names to be indistinguishable if they are long, and a primary descriptor is at the end. For example:
CompanyName-Department-Prod-EastUS
CompanyName-Department-Prod-WestUS
CompanyName-Department-Prod-NorEuro
CompanyName-Department-Dev-SouthEast
etc...The only way to see the available connections is by icon. Add functionality in the Windows Desktop client for list view, and functionality to configure a default.

allow UDP tracert because Verizon has done something with their network and your current Tracert only shows 2 hops.
Currently Tracert only shows 2 hops on Verizon Fios networks. There were many more before they changed their settings. UDP traceroute on Linux and Unix have no problem. Change your tracert to allow configuration for UDP rather than ICMP. It's hard to use current tracert to determine what's wrong when most of the hops don't show up.

Deliver Edge Updates through WSUS on time
Hi Microsoft.
As you might be aware of, edge has different deployment channels, WSUS being one of them. However, while I may always download the current version of edge manually, WSUS delivers it always only a few days later. The update catalogue gets the current update at the same time as WSUS - too late. Browsers are security critical, don't leave WSUS customers behind.

Allow us to hard set network location profile
Network Location Awareness is very useful feature on desktops. Particularly in the current climate of people taking machines home, having them detect "Public" networks is useful.
However, it is nearly unheard of for a Windows Server to be picked up and taken to an untrusted network. Instead of the benefits of this feature, there are many reasons wherein a server may decide it's in a public network and firewall itself from access. This will, for example, prevent a file server sharing files, or an Exchange server accepting email. If this occurs to Domain Controllers, it will trigger all other servers…

add clipboard history feature to Windows Server OR a password manager
I want to have sort of security for "pasting" passwords into legacy apps, from the GUI.
So was surprised that Windows Server 2019 does not have this feature yet of clipboard history just like Windows 10.
Or maybe a password manager with a safe delete after a timeout
I realize it might be anyway a security problem with scripts and stuff.. anyway !7 votes -

the Server Core App Compat FOD should be available to download with Patches
When trying to cook up an Image for our cloud deployments on Windows Server Core 20H2 with the Server Core App Compat FOD
we are starting with a Nov 2020 Patched windows Core SAC image, and then we are trying to add the App Compat FOD.But after installing the App Compat FOD, the Get-updates want us to also reinstall the Nov 2020 15 GB patch
It seems that the installation of the App Compat FOD , installs old libraries , and then even if that OS is patched, now a new OS patch has to be installed.
this is…
