Bring back ALL the features of SBS 2003. I reluctantly switched to SBS 2011 Standard when SBS 2003 support ended. I need RWW & POP3 Connector. Now Essentials 2019 LACKS everything I need. And Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010 are at end of life. I will finally have to start researching non-Microsoft server OS alternatives. Microsoft for years represented customer-based solutions. We are now at an end, where all MS wants is to push everyone to subscription-based storage, software as service, and cloud. I'm DONE. My goal is not MS revenues; it's continuing to rely on products that meet MY business needs, rather than having to change my architecture and operations to suit MS.

There's a lot of stuff that the device manager can do that doesn't have a CLI equivalent such as:

• Force installing a driver (selecting a specific .inf in the "have disk" device manager menu)


• Automatically finding and installing the best driver in a folder with multiple drivers.


• Rolling back to a previous driver version


• Selecting to use a different driver in the driver store for a device (for example changing to the basic display driver without uninstalling the normal display drivers)

This is especially important when managing a Windows server core deployment because the device manager can't be used on a core installation.

I would prefer a Powershell module, but a cimclass or even a legacy console program would be fine, it just needs to work on server core installations.

Need the ability to customize the Azure online retention policies better.

If my "Online backup schedule" is set to "Week" and I choose Saturday, my Monthly and Yearly backups must be set to a Day (as in Last Saturday). I do not want to choose a Day (Saturday) for my Monthly and Yearly backups -- I want to choose a Numbered Day (like Last Day) for those.

Weekly Backups - Saturday
Monthly Backups - Last Day of Month
Yearly Backups - Last Day of Year

For example, with my Online Schedule set to "Week" with "Saturday", my November 2018 Monthly was forced to backup on the Last Saturday November 24th -- 6 days before the month end -- because you grey out the Radio Button to choose "Last Day" of the month.

I am NOT paying to set my Online Schedule to "Day" (which allows you to choose Last Day for Monthly/Yearly) to force Terabytes of information to Azure on a daily basis just so you can get more DPM Protected + Storage subscription costs.
