I have been using #WindowsServer Core as a development VM, because I need to test my program for Windows users. I know this isn't recommended, because Server Core doesn't have much of a GUI, and is missing a lot of GUI-related libraries, so some stuff doesn't work right, however, VSCode (and Visual Studio) work just fine, and I've been getting by with Powershell, 7zfm, Retrobar (substitute taskbar), and Floorp (Firefox mod). The GTK version of #VICEEmulator doesn't work, so I've been using the SDL2 one.

I think I like this in some ways more than using actual Windows. It's definitely lightweight. I wish that it had DirectX support so I could try running games with it

The way cmd is abused as a login manager on #WindowsServer core is kind of hilarious to me. Whatever works I guess

I wish #WindowsServer SConfig gave any kind of progress for update install

When I run `wsl --install`, I get the error …

WSL2 is not supported with your current machine configuration.
Please enable the "Virtual Machine Platform" optional component and ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
Enable "Virtual Machine Platform" by running: wsl.exe --install --no-distribution

... and I can run `wsl.exe --install --no-distribution` to get around it, but I still can't install a Linux distro.

La build 26376 du prochain #WindowsServer a ENFIN commencé à migrer les réglages avancés de la souris (pointeurs, traînées, ombre, etc.) dans les Paramètres !

Microsoft changes the structure of Windows updates

Windows updates are to become leaner and faster from version 24H2. To achieve this, Microsoft is changing the concept of cumulative updates.

WUOT ZE FUQ?

Seriously, the only use-case for a #RAID controller is to handle shitty #OS|es that can't be assed to have proper #LVM & Software-RAID integrated, like #Windows & "#WindowsServer" which IMHO have no legitimate reason to exist or be deployed newly.

• Espechally since this ain't the 90s where one needed like custom silicon to do #RAID at #IDE speeds without clogging up CPU and internal I/O.

Is it OK for a Windows Domain Controller to receive a static IP from a separate DHCP server or should the static IP always be assigned from within the OS NIC's properties?

What if any are the possible issues if in the DHCP server the MAC address is assigned a static IP AND within the OS the NIC is assigned the same static IP?

Microsoft hält an Systemanforderungen für Windows 11 fest

Die Hardwareanforderungen für Windows 11 werden nicht gelockert. Microsoft setzt auch in Zukunft auf TPM 2.0, aber nicht für alle Windows-Versionen.

So, one install, no GPOs work at all, and another install Some GPOs work, as long as they have the filter set to Authenticated Users.

If i set filtering to run if a user is a member of a group it's no go.

I've watched countless "Map network drive with GPOs" videos on youtube, according to them i do nothing wrong - but none of it works!

If this crap doesn't resolve soon, i'm gonna write a netlogon script as i did for Windows NT 4 about 20 years ago... the shares work, i can map them manually with net use, so that isn't it.

Fuck i hate inconsistencies like this.

There is NOTHING different from the systems and using shadow groups - or not, and the location of groups (root, ou, bathroom, outer space) doesn't matter, shit still doesn't work.
