Windows Server and Windows Server R2 are approaching the end of their support lifecycle. This means that as of the dates in the table below there will be no additional:. Customers who use Windows Server or Windows Server R2 products and services should migrate to Microsoft Azure to take advantage of three additional years of Critical and Important security updates at no additional charge and modernize when ready.
For environments other than Azure, we recommend customers upgrade to the latest version before the deadline. For customers who cannot meet the end-of-support deadline may purchase Extended Security Updates to keep server workloads protected until they upgrade some restrictions apply.
We recommend that you migrate to Azure or upgrade to the current product versions before the support end dates. This lets you take advantage of the latest product innovations and make sure you have uninterrupted support from Microsoft. Chris S Chris S Thanks for the link, I'll try that first thing tomorrow.
Is there an alternative to preferences? The policies section has settings for most things mapped drives aren't in there, but you can write a quick script to map the drives, and scripts are in Policies. Ok, I'll try and find a decent tutorial on scripts in that case then. Dannymcc, I edited in the script we use here. See above. Thanks, I'm viewing this page on my iPhone so I may not be seeing the whole script - where would I specify the network share location? Show 2 more comments.

To have a proper Desktop experience, I recommend the following configuration changes:. When you shut down Windows Server , you are asked to give a reason for the shutdown. Windows Server is preconfigured to disallow users the shutdown of the system. If you work without an administrator account, this is quite uncomfortable.
To grant users the shutdown- privilege, you have to follow these steps: Open the "Group Policy Editor". This feature is one of the most annoying I know. Sometimes you want to listen to podcasts or other stuff on your workstation. In the properties dialog, set the "Startup type" to "Automatic". If you don't want to wait for the next reboot, you have to click on "Start" to directly launch the service.
Windows R2 Server usually prioritizes background processes. This is not a favorable setting for workstations, because you want your applications to be as responsive as possible.
