I have installed Windows Server 2019 Standard Eval with Desktop experience.
The server is in a location where I cannot see it but I can hear it.
My current server is W2012 R2. I have no issues with that server.
For the 2019 server the error, exclamation, notify and other sounds do not work. Recycle Bin, device connect/disconnect/fail work.
When I test each sound in the control panel they play fine.
The Audio and Audio Endpoint Builder services are running.
I can play mp3, mkv, avi, mp4 etc and audio works fine.
I rely on the sounds because I can tell from the sounds what is going on since I can't see the server.
Are specific sounds disabled in this OS or is there something wrong?
When I install any OS I ALWAYS have the internet disconnected. As a result, in 2019 (but not on 2012 R2), Server manager can't get an IP address and uses the 169.254 address. When I later install the NIC drivers and connect the internet everything works, but I cannot get rid of the 169.254 address. It shows only in server manager. Ipconfig /all shows only the real adapters.
How can I get rid of the redundant 169.254 address?
The server is used for WSUS, IIS, ColdFusion, Macrium Reflect, MySQL and file storage.
