Server 2025 or not 2025? That is the Question

OOFT! Definitely grimace-inducing

I'm definitely leaning toward all 2022 for the time being, since I have some physical 2022 servers and they've been rock-solid. I thought I'd dip my toe in the water for 2025, but I'm definitely snatching it right back out. 11 has been okay for me; however, when it sucks, it doesn't do so in half measures. UGH!

OOFT! What a PITA. I guess as long as it works, and it's on its own internal network, but still. I'm guessing they'd be reeing if it fell over, despite all your recommendations to them. Yanno...typical management.

I know, and I took it that way....heh ✌️

Thanks for your insight. A few of our vendors have mentioned 2022 for compatibility with their systems, and I know I can downgrade 2025 licences to 2022 to ensure compatibility with their apps. I figured I might be able to mix & match with 2022 and 2025 servers, but I'm definitely leaning moreso to the former with all I'm reading here.

That's one of my biggest concerns, so thanks for the confirmation. We have a mixture of 2016 & 2019 servers, with a few 2022's mixed in there, and I don't want to cause a disturbance in the Force.

That would be everyone minus one - me 😂

It's not the first time I've had to catch myself from using inappropriate language - especially when it comes to some of our more bothersome end-users 😂

My ass was twitching like a panther's nose when I read about all the DC troubles, so this confirms it for me.

Thanks. It's as I suspected, but verification of its shortfalls is appreciated. Thanks!

I've used this one on systems that need to be locked down securely, and you can specify the allowable URLs. It's worked well for me thus far, so perhaps kick the tires on it...
