"What's new in Windows Server vNext" covers Active Directory, File Server, Storage, Hyper-V, Security, hardware support, etc. The presenter is Jeff Woolsey, who always puts on a great talk. I contributed, so at least one demo has cute dogs 😅 https://ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/f3901190-1154-45e3-9726-d2498c26c2c9?source=sessions /2
IT Pros: #MSIgnite is this week & while the in-person event has sold out, you can still livestream the keynote, breakouts, Q&As for free. The sessions are recorded for afterwards, including one not to miss:
"What’s New in Windows Server vNext"
Finally, SMB over QUIC client access control that we announced in Insider Build 25977 now supports using certs with subject alternative names. This means CAC no longer requires a single subject, like the current SMB over QUIC https://aka.ms/SmbOverQUICCAC
More big news next week 😮 /f
SMB client now supports connecting to an SMB server over TCP, QUIC, or RDMA using alternative network ports using NET USE & New-SmbMapping. An admin can disable this. The next Server Insider will support alternative QUIC server ports (not TCP/RDMA) /4 https://aka.ms/SMBAlternativePorts
The new SMB NTLM blocking option announced in Insider build 25951 now supports exception lists for NTLM usage. An admin can configure a general block on NTLM usage while still allowing clients to use NTLM for specific servers that don't support Kerberos /3 https://aka.ms/SmbNtlmBlock
