Twitter: @garyw_
Web: www.gdwnet.com
INSTALLATION
 Core only is 8GB in side
 Desktop experience is “usual” windows size
 Core Fits nicely onto a USB stick (Hyper-V only)
 Works with 2012-R2 WDS (needs a new boot loader)
NEW FEATURES!!
 Migration of clusters between domains
 Kubernetes
 Defender Access Control Policies
 WinRM Enhancements
 Storage Replica in standard edition
 Storage migration wizard
 Cluster Sets
 Windows subsystem for Linux
LICENSING
 Same as 2016
 Per core licensing with a server requiring a minimum of 16
cores
 Two VM’s on a standard licence/Unlimited on DC
 Unlimited containers
 Two versions? Standard and datacentre?
DEPLOYMENT
 Uses WIM files same as 2012 and 2016
 Will work in a 2012, 2012 R2 or a 2016 WDS server, the boot
file needs to be updated
 Existing unattend files should also work
WINRM/PS REMOTING
• Doesn’t seem to like IP Address
• Make sure your DNS is clean
• Ensure WINRM ports are open
• Use WINRM troubleshooting to test
WINDOWS ADMIN
CENTRE
• Windows Admin is formally Project
Honolulu
• UK date formats coming in June!
• Supports Tags
• LAPS makes it easier
STORAGE MIGRATION WIZARD
CORE INSTALL
• Emphasis is on remote management
• Windows Admin Centre
• RSAT
• WINRM/Powershell
• Sconfig still works!
GUI INSTALL
• Introduced in April 24th release
• Build 17650
• Much like Windows 2016
• GUI is really for legacy apps
ACTIVE DIRECTORY
• Blockchain auth(?)
• Does not support FRS for SYSVOL so you must
use DFSMIG to migrate to DFS-R
• Still on 2003?
"For customers who need additional time to evaluate moving
their DFL & FFL from 2003, the 2003 DFL and FFL will continue
to be supported with Windows 10 and Windows Server
2016 provided all domain controllers in the domain and
forest are either on Windows Server 2008, 2012 or 2016.“
HYPER-V
• Improvements to shielded VM’s – Linux will be supported
• Encrypted replication improvements
• Encrypted network segments at the vswitch level
MICROSERVICES
• 2019 has a Kubernetes deployable feature
• Container support has been improved since 2016
• Windows sub system for linux means windows AND linux containers on the same host
• Smaller windows containers – from 10GB to 2GB
• Containers still use Hyper-V architecture for container networking
• It’s still early days for Kubernets so ***watch this space***
DEFENDER ATP
• Cloud behaviour analytics
• More than just AV
• Policy driven via Powershell

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Migration of clusters = Move clusters between domains using powershell Kubernetes = Big push for better integration with Kube Storage replica is available in standard – not just an enterprise function Storage migration wizard is for migrating from older versions to 2019 Cluster sets – scale out clusters in the cloud and on prem
  • #4 Migration of clusters = Move clusters between domains using powershell Kubernetes = Big push for better integration with Kube Storage replica is available in standard – not just an enterprise function Storage migration wizard is for migrating from older versions to 2019 Cluster sets – scale out clusters in the cloud and on prem
  • #5 Just keep the wds boot file at the latest version
  • #7 Ports are 5985 and 5986 for WinRM – 5986 is HTTPS
  • #8 A service that can be used to migrate from an older server to 2019 – how this works with apps is not known
  • #11 Check your AD replication model – dfsrmig /getmigrationstate
  • #13 10GB container on windows 2016
