Using "tomcat8 //IS//..."-commands simply do not work on nano server 2016. Calling such tomcat8-commands do not return any error, but do not do somehting either. Installing tomcat as service seems to work after calling, but it does not affect the services. No new service there callig "get-service"... Starting tomcat 8 in power shell ist working, but no option in productive enviroment. Problem occures on nano server only...

Cluster Aware Update is a very often used tool to automate cluster patching. Actually CAU is not working when executed against a Nano Server based cluster.

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

For example, Local date: 2016□10□15□

Suggesting the ability to change NanoServer Workgroup Name using PowerShell or Commandline or through Recovery Console.

The possibility of having different Workgroup name for NanoServer that do not join to a domain in DMZ environment or frontend of an infrastructure environment.

Using WMIC method does not work in NanoServer to change the Workgroup name:
WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM where name='minwinpc' CALL JoinDomainOrWorkgroup Name='MyWorkgroup'

WMIC Reference:

Using PowerShell Set-CIMInstance method does not work in NanoServer to change the Workgroup name:
Get-CimInstance `

 -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem | `

     Set-CimInstance `

         -Property @{Workgroup='MyWorkgroup'} ;

Hello everyone.
Thanks for great new Nano Server, congrats for the good job that Microsoft is doing on that.
My idea is about Nano Server rol mode IIS. I think that should be a great idea implement access via IIS remote Manager (like MMC or Server Manager) in order to manage IIS Nano Server Graphical mode. Some sysadmins really like that option. Please think about it. And please vote this... Thank and good Nano Server roles... Cheers. Jacob.

This is a no brainer. MySQL is already supported and it's now time for PostgreSQL to have the same treatment.

if php, MySQL and wordpress and other webserver are allowed to install in headless nano will be a value added

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.

Sysmon should be supported in Nano Server.

Should be able to create a virtual SAN within Hyper-V and add virtual fibre channel adapters to VM's

It would be great to have the Subsystem for Linux running on Nano as well, similar to how this is implemented in Windows 10.

Please include the ability for setting the DNS suffix of the FQDN on a Nano server, as some organizations utilize multiple domains.

Allow an administrator/developer to extend/replace the recover console with a custom console application; idea would be something like a type of non-graphical MMC

Not sure if SNMP is supported in Nano Server or not. If not, it should support
