Getting ready for a long walk back to the apartment. It's going to be quite cold out there. We are going to hit -1C tonight.

Virtualization is happening! Just put hyper v core on some bare metal, about to spin up the system that was on the bare metal before.

What are the new toys?
The biggest one is Windows 10 / 2016 support. Also new guest agent features. But latest Windows support is the biggest deal and what I've been pushing for. Windows 10 requires CPU features that were not available before and needed a lot of testing.
Nice, that's a really big deal. I can't believe that they didn't have that already.

There is no such product called Hyper-V Core.
There is Server 2016 + Hyper-V Role or there is Hyper-V Server 2016. The ISO for the later does still have core in the file name. But that is not the product name.

Whatever, you know what I mean. The hypervisor, not the role.

I know that you know that I know what you mean. But too many people use the wrong term and get completely confused.

Who is rocking webroot around here? Is it worth the money still?
We're kinda split on Sophos at the moment - our test boxes have produced "meh" results.
Entire environment is mcafee which I have almost nothing good to say about.

We just renewed Webroot for the 3rd year in a row. It's been great, easy administration, reasonably priced. The only issues I've had are with 2 or 3 developer machines that occasionally don't want to call home, but that's a result of our internally developed stuff. Kind of a PITA, but not really.

What do you use on your servers?

@Nic do you have any contacts with webroot still? any deals for non-profit canadian companies made of sugar and light and everything nice?
-
@MattSpeller Yep - there's a non-profit discount, but actually the SpiceHead/ML discount is a better deal than that, although that page seems to have vanished for direct purchase. If you want a good sales contact, talk to Tim Sheahen [email protected] and he should be able to get you the best deal.

Webroot on everything. It has basically zero impact on performance.

Did you need to create profiles or anything to avoid it screwing with VM's or SQL?

There's a server default profile that works for most anything you'll be running on a server. You do need to install the agent on each VM - there's no hypervisor install option. If you run into any issues with it causing problems with a server application just talk to support and they'll help with the profile configuration and/or getting anything whitelisted.

We use the built in server profile with like 1 setting changed (I think). Works a charm, on VMs as well (I don't have it installed on host hardware).
