localzuk Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 According to El Reg, there is now a Tech Preview of the next server release available - more details here No tiles, no NAP – next Windows for data centre looks promising • The Register I have to say, from the list of features on that article, I am excited for at least 2 of them. On the fly network adapter changes to Hyper-V VMs will be useful on development machines, and the block level data replication will mean we will finally be able to have cheap, on the fly, data replication for our cluster! My tech is downloading it now for me to look at. Looking forward to it!
sted Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 yes ive been running it for about a week lol. atm its basically server 2012r2 with a start menu and some oddly names features/roles that dont seem to do anything lol
JRowley Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Yeah it's been available basically since the Enterprise preview was released, it and the Hyper-V version are in the compiled links thread. I agree with sted though, at this point it's not that different, I installed a couple of the more interesting roles to find they have nothing attached to them yet and appear to just be placeholders of some sort, abit of a shame but I'm sure they'll come in a future update.
TheScarfedOne Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 And you can also run this in the cloud, so you don't need to get it locally, or even into local HyperV @EduTech 1
Arthur Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 There have been links to the server tech preview in the sticky thread for the past week. www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-10/143137-windows-10-technical-preview-compiled-links.html
localzuk Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 Ay, but there has been zero discussion about it... And I'm more excited about the server stuff than the desktop stuff.
sted Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Ay, but there has been zero discussion about it... And I'm more excited about the server stuff than the desktop stuff. yes there has im sure ive mentioned canary network diagnostics its just probably in the win 10 thread
