      @EddieJennings said in Windows Server 2019 Updates:

      I'm create a template VM for Server 2019 (one with and one without the GUI). I'm curious to see if any of you have seen the following behaviors.

      Non-GUI

      Use sconfig to download and install updates. Choose All updates, download, and install. After notification the updates were installed (appears about 5 seconds after choosing to install), you're prompted to reboot. After reboot, check for updates again to find the same updates still listed, repeat from step 2 endlessly.

      GUI
      Updates stay forever at "pending dowload"

      GUI and using sconfig
      Same behavior as using sconfig in the non-GUI environment.

      Nope, you got something weird going on.

      @aidan_walsh afaik there is no reason to install it as a role. All it does is create unnecessary licensing dependencies.

      The main reason some people do it is for auto activation of guest windows machines. That is no reason to ever do it IMO.

      If every physical server is a Datacenter license then it is pretty transparent also.

      But I still do not feel that Installing in this way makes sense.

      Yep, KMS server to the rescue.

      Correct. If you are big enough to have Datacenter licensing, spin up another VM and setup KMS.

      Good article. There is ZERO reason to have a GUI on a Domain Controller. Everything can be done through Server Manager on Windows 10/8

      You mean RSAT 😉

      Both? You can do a lot of directory management through Server Manager as well.

      Ok, agree. Just don't like the Server Manager this much, ugly interface. I want to be sure WHICH drive on WHICH host I'm going to format for example. But that is just my personal opinion and I'm more or less a console fetishist 😉

      But when it comes to ADSIedit or AD sites, you really want to have RSAT.

      huh?

      Those options are generally only there is RSAT is installed.
