Hello,

We have only eu-us keyboard in Nano recovery console. It's very difficult for non-english keyboard users to type their passwords.
Thx.

Will URL Rewrite 2.0 be supported for IIS on Nano Server? This will help to enable Web administrators to create powerful rules to implement URLs that are easier for users to remember and easier for search engines to find.

Will Application Request Routing (ARR) 3 be supported for IIS on Nano Server? This will help to enable Web server administrators, hosting providers, and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to increase Web application scalability and reliability through rule-based routing, client and host name affinity, load balancing of HTTP server requests, and distributed disk caching.

Given the highly increased security and much less need for patching, it would be great to be able to run AD Domain Controllers on NanoServer

It will be good if we can install the RD licensing roles on a nano server

There shoud be an backup role for backup and restore Hyper-V machines, or to export them to a backup - share. It would be great if the backup could be triggert like with a task - plan.

Hello Team !!!

Would be great add role DHCP to Nano Server added to DNS Server, will be a great stack network services.

It would be great to add something like Windows Backup functionality. I need to have way to backup and restore of configured instances of Nano servers.

Does Nano server support IIS Media Services? If not, can this be added? That would be nice!

The DA [AKA Direct Access and DirectAccess ] would be a great feature role to have

Many security settings and other settings are centrally managed and set via Group Policies in domain environments.
Some core security settings should be managable via Group Policy on Nano Server.
Examples: User Rights, Audit Policies, Security Options, Security Templates, ...

I do not consider DSC a valid solution here, as for most ITPro's it requires too much effort to configure/setup.

I'd like the ability to lock down and audit Nano Server equally effectively as my Win 10 hosts. With its dramatically reduced attack surface, Nano Server has the potential to be much more easily defendable assuming it has supported roles to do so.

it would be really cool if we can have a built-in type of networking features like LB, Switch/router, Firewall/IPS/IDS ... in Nano server with management console in windows server RSAT as well as Nno server console

Nano Server is already my most favorite Hypervisor, why not give it the same security features as the upcoming Windows Server 2016?

ASP.NET 5 apps reverse proxy via the HttpPlatformHandler, so the module is going to be required for most vanilla .NET 5 web apps going forward. It would be nice if the HttpPlatformHandler module was installed by default with an IIS install. It would further be helpful if the module were kept up-to-date by whatever OS updating system Nano Server uses.

Nano server would be fantastic for the remote site concept: core services like AD, DNS, DHCP, file / print, proxy. By having more of a "black-box" approach, this can be built and left onsite with little risk to the box.

Add the File Server Resource Manager feature on Nano to extend the File Server feature. This allows IT Admin to create a very small machine (P or V) configurated as file server good as VM Storage or classic Document Sharing

VPN/DirectAccess/Web Application Proxy/ADFS roles

RDS gateway role to be added to NANO
