We would like a survey doing from yourselves. We are looking to replace our Ruckus system across 3 sites with a decent BYOD solution for students and guests, and having it all integrate with our Smoothwall S14

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.

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.

We have been having a similar issue to what you describe but with unifi and accounting packets We are also on Leeds 49 and NPS 2019. Let me know if you tried server 2022 as that was my next step in trying to fix it.

Done about three quaters of the servers, there are a few running old software that we tested that dont work and wont until we get the budget to replace them. We havent need help from anyone as yet although we will for SIMS SQL did several tests with this and to be safe in most cases just moved the database to a new VM. Again looked into SIMS and given the time we have had with it decided not to move it. Also dont know a lot about it so will be asking company for help with that. Exchange we are currently in hybrid mode so we have been doing work to move the few public folders we have to the cloud, the plan is once were happy with everything to get rid of on prem server. Got all the Hyperv cluster servers upgraded no problem at all, we are replacing the backend storage hardware later in the year so that will also have 2019 on it. We are part way through moving the print server over too. We have most desktops on Windows 1903 as we are rolling out onedrive instead of local home folders, so far this has caused the most issues. We also have that age old problem with printers disappearing randomly. Other than that its gone well.

@Arthur You are right! Good job I only did ones for us techs and not the ones staff use. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/452476eb-dede-4ced-ba7b-099ab8566d96/windows-server-2019-trial-retired?forum=ws2016

Actually done both, upgraded a couple of low level servers that only us techs use and done a few from scratch for vm's etc. Looking forward to testing the storage migration service in the lab, then if I have the balls do it, the real file storage servers. Eventually will get round to the bigger servers if supported for SQL, Exchange, SCCM, SIMS etc.

So far got half of the cluster nodes done, 4 vm's and 4 physical servers. Just another 30 or so to go then we are done, just hope it goes as easily as the first few.

Had to ring MS to get key, which they fixed straight away so all good here now.

I got the download but dont have a KMS key yet so still cant use it

Thanks for letting me know, atleast I know to not waste my time on it anymore. Did you use something else in the end to do the job?

@cpjitservices Did you ever solve this and if so how as we have the same issue

Did anyone get to the bottom of this, were having this exact same fault

We have started replacing projectors in some rooms with Large TV's instead due to the fact its lower maintenance, also the cost of them has dropped a lot. We are also getting them with Android TV built in so staff can stream to them etc. Some rooms still need projectors as staff still use interactive boards but eventually these will be replaced too.

Ah that's a different department, personally if they say anything it would claim its for stress related symptoms....
