Steve21 Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) If anyone's feeling like being a guinea pig and making the last week of Summer a risky time Windows Server 2022 (Standard Core/Datacenter Core) (released Aug 2021) 64 Bit English Edit - As a side note, despite it being called core it is desktop edition too!

Jcx500 Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 I see they rebranded the installer to "Microsoft Server Operating System"
AndyB4rks Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Started upgrading to Server 2022 a few weeks ago, so far done a couple of domain controllers and 5 general servers. Debating whether to upgrade the cluster, I will probably leave that until after Christmas though. Going to be testing it with some of the more complex stuff SQL, printserver, web server before rolling it out for production. So far I have had no issues other than a driver for a really old raid card.
Michael Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Is this the true successor to Windows Server 2019 or Windows 11 Server? I wonder whether they'll be an LTSC release that's equivalent to this?
Primus Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Is this the true successor to Windows Server 2019 or Windows 11 Server? I wonder whether they'll be an LTSC release that's equivalent to this? 2022 is the successor to 2019 - it's the LTSC server branch. In fact they're not releasing anymore Server SAC versions - only LTSC from now on. 1
Michael Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Question is will it be LTSC '22 based on W10 or W11?
Primus Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Question is will it be LTSC '22 based on W10 or W11? I believe 2022 is based on W10 from what I've seen - makes sense since 2022 is out now and W11 isn't finished yet.
3s-gtech Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 It also means that putting 2022 on production hardware isn't too brave - it's like going from 10 1809 to 21H1.
Michael Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 It just means LTSC 2019 will be supported longer than LTSC 2022, last I checked!
Primus Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) It just means LTSC 2019 will be supported longer than LTSC 2022, last I checked! 2022: Listing Mainstream End Date: Oct 13, 2026 Extended End Date: Oct 14, 2031 2019: Listing Mainstream End Date: Jan 9, 2024 Extended End Date: Jan 9, 2029 2022 has the later support end date as you would expect.

Primus Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Does it have any new features? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/whats-new-in-windows-server-2022
Simcfc73 Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Just got my Hyper-V's to do... not brave enough to do it till Half Term
Arthur Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 @Steve21. What does the 'Ninja' in the thread title refer to? 1
Ironside Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 @Steve21. What does the 'Ninja' in the thread title refer to? From my understanding of forum/internet linguistics it means a silent or sneaky release, flying mostly under the radar. Don't think major tech news has noticed the release, which is unsurprising since it's not as interesting as W11.
Primus Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Is anyone running it on a failover cluster? I'm setting up a new one and I'm tempted to start with 2022 rather than 2019 but in the past I always waited a while before deploying a new server OS on something like a cluster as there's sometimes weird issues with clusters for example.

I upgraded our test cluster from 2019-2022 and it was one of the most painless upgrades. I will be upgrading the main cluster during half term. The one that scares me a little is upgrading the storage for the cluster im tempted to move the data to another server first then do it and move back.

Did you migrate your teamed connections to the new method? Or are you not using teamed NICs?
