Enterprise environment, 200+ servers 2012r2 @ 2016. We call for functionality to manage via GPO (means managable GUI way, no registry, scripts etc) WU installation & restart for specific group of servers based on their role in severity in our holding. We need to be able to specify day:hour:minute:second when downloaded updates have to init installation and specific day:hour:minute:second to be restarted so we can incorporate this into backup plan.
For such management there is NOTHING on Win Servers OS. We need to work with specific days in calendar (not just "every monday..."), with specific time (sorry, not idiotic "working hours" on servers where production apps controlling production lines are running. Starting 20+ servers it is worthless for IT staff to manage it "by hand" - during weekend nights via VPN login to Remote Desktop and manually do it :-( And when there is 200+ servers it is impossible.
Current result is: server with last updates in 2015 etc and nearly daily news about ransomware attacks in emails.
Sorry Microsoft, instead of just renaming Windows 10 onto Windows Server 2016 (resulting in bulk of clientside waste in server OS !!!!!!!) you should think for corporate clients, their needs and possibilities.
I reaĺly do not care about another "gender" emoji , new colors of start menu and another nosence. I need managable system on the server side to hold available and secured environment for people who maybe just care about those "gender" ...

Historically, ALT-F4 will close out your windows...and if you were at the desktop, it would nicely bring up a dialog box asking if you'd like to sign-out or shutdown/reboot, etc. That is gone it seems...except for the built-in administrator. This leads to accidental logouts and closing of sessions that may have been active, etc. From what I've seen, MS has stated this is "by design" and needs to go to the forum to restore sanity. Seems odd it exists for one type of account and not able to be enabled for others. Regardless....bring back the logoff/shutdown dialog box please, or provide the necessary registry entry or GPO entry to re-enable it. Thanks.

Add Services to the Windows Server WinX menu (right click of start menu / the menu that appears when you press WinKey+x).

As an administrator, one of the first things I do after connecting to a server is open services.msc. The fastest way to do it has always been click Start, type "services.msc" press enter.

What I would prefer to be able to do is right-click start, choose "Services" but inexplicably, that option that admins use EVERY DAY is simply not in the list when obscure things that we rarely use low Power Options are in the list. Please add Services.msc to the list as a default, at least on Windows Server installations.

Adding the Datasource below:

        DataSource perfCounter3 = new DataSource

        {

            SourceType = DataSourceType.PerfCounter,

            PerformanceCounter = new PerformanceCounterDataSource

            {

                CounterPath = "GGD",

                CounterName = "Memory Bandwidth MB/sec",

                InstanceName = "*"                      // All instances


            },

            AggregationType = DataAggregationType.Sum,

            SeriesContext = "GGDPerfCounters"

        };

Getting the following error below when i add the custom DataSource above:

Update-InsightsCapability : System Insights failed to register one or more of data sources for capability 'GGD Capability'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Update-InsightsCapability -Name "GGD Capability" -Library "C:\GGdCapa ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (GGD Capability:String) [Update-InsightsCapability], Exception

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : SystemInsightsError,Microsoft.SystemInsights.Management.PowerShell.UpdateInsightsCapabilityCommand

Everything works fine if i remove this datasource and use one from PhysicalDisk.

Also after checking Event Viewer to check the error, I see the error below:

Failed to update capability 'GGd Capability'. Enable the Debug channel to see more details.

Unknown exception when adding or updating for capability GGd Capability. Exception type: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.SystemInsights.Management.SystemInsightsError]. Reason: The creator of this fault did not specify a Reason.
