Given that the Server Essentials Feature has now been deprecated and is only available safely until Server 2016 goes out of support, why not make at least the Client Backup Service from the Server Essentials Feature available as an additional cost addon (to make it viable to support) OR make it Open Source so that at least this important feature of WSE can continue. Those alternatives available with the deduplication capabilities included (such as those from Acronis) are simply too costly for home and SOHO users!

It is possible, create a free limited cominity edition of MS Windows Server 2016, some thing like Windows Nano? Developers for .NET Core can deploy on this version web application and only. There is no need of most available WS2016 services and utilities, like active directory.

Can we get the text about the required Office version to be updated to include the new syntax for the M365 version? It is very confusing because the version/build numbering is different for the M365 click-to-run software than Office 2016 ProPlus. The document I am referring to is:

Rube Goldberg is best known for his popular cartoons depicting complicated gadgets performing simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways. If only he had lived in our times... Windows Server and RDS

We still need a Windows Version for small customers getting easy connection to Azure and Office 365. So do NOT remove the Essential Role out of Version 2019.

it is better put a vides clearly about installing both CALs Users and CALs device .
I am using Windows Server 2008 on local PC , my question how to implementate RDC with CALs on which many Users can access the server concurrently, which one I choose , Users CALs or Device CALs ?

LTSB is a beautiful thing. Its what Enterprise should be. No stupid candy crush icons, no cortana, no store. Updates are larger than normal, but you dont have to deal with compatibility issues every 12 months when the OS goes through radical changes.

MS have hamstrung LTSC by removing its ability to run o365...... They have made the greatest current OS build unusable.

I understand the whole "Its for critical systems...." Adapt it to Enterprise. Give w10 the wings to rise out of the candy crush, cortana, 'access any open hotspot' ashes.....

The OOBE of Server 2019 1809 includes mandantory security questions for creating an initial local account.

This is apparently a left-over from Home / Pro SKU

Please release a CU to such remove consumer stuff from enterprise and server SKUs for Server 2016 / 2019.

I neither want to guess what's the favorite color of the admin that forgot the password nor where he went to school. Thank you very much!

EVERTHING WILL SAFE FOR ....

You should add Windows Server 2019, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB / LTSC to the list of "Latest updates" below. Not everyone can distinguish the corresponding update.

I want to use Windows Server at home. But I will never pay the current amount for a license.

It would be nice to have a heavily-discounted (or free) version for individuals to use at home. I don't know what restrictions could be put in place to keep the license from being used for business, but I'm sure there's a way.

How to activate the VMs under 2016 standard? AVMA is for DC version.

No longer are Windows 8 and Windows 10 Professional suitable for my clients. Going to Windows 2016 Standard in LTSC has solved a lot of problems. The semi-annual channel is too disruptive (creates a number of problems) in the work that traders are doing.

Please post the Windows 10 version 1803 KMS Client Setup Keys.

It would be great if we could license just the virtual machines, not the entire host. There are lot of mixed environments where customers need to run several Windows Server VMs, but not all of them and not on Hyper-V. The minimum price can be licensing 16 cores, regardless of actual number of cores is less. Running just a few Windows Servers VMs in cluster environment and properly licensing them is way to expensive. This wan't push customers to cloud if that is the intention of present virtual machine licensing.

There is a list on MS’s website regarding Server Core, but not nano server. Can we get a list of supported features.

SILA complements the built-in SIL. After tricking the setup to successfully install on a German server using an existing database (see my install localization bug report) another issue pops up.

Executing Sop-SilAggregator in PowerShell will result in a .Net SqlClient Data Provider InvalidOperation exception referring to conversion problems from nvarchar to datetime with the value being out-of-range (see screenshot with German error message).

This raises suspicion to be a German vs. US date format issue ("23.10.2017 22:44:00" German vs. "10/23/2017 10:44:00pm" US vs. "2017-10-23 22:44:00" ISO).
