Personally I never used / needed the PC backup features and didn’t care for the connector or dashboard, would rather use the ADUC snap-in directly. The Remote Web Access, Essentials Role, and super simple Office 365 integration made this a feature rich / inexpensive product for my smaller clients and saved me some manual setup steps. With Microsoft removing all the benefits in the 2019 SKU, this most likely takes it out of the running when future upgrades are discussed. I don’t like this at all! As an MSP, I have WSE 2012 R2 running at 10 customer sites, ranging from 5 to 23 users. But don’t bet on this, as the Server 2019 Essentials article from the OP does clearly state that the Essentials Experience Role as we know it will not be included in future releases. The way the article is written, Microsoft is leaving the door open to the *possibility* that they may include Essentials experience features in a future release of Server Essentials. However, Server 2016 Essentials is recommended in the article, which does signify that 2016 Essentials will not be prematurely “killed off”. This is also the early indication that the EE role will not be included in Server 2019.
Quote: “We’re no longer developing the Essentials Experience role for the Windows Server Standard or Windows Server Datacenter SKUs.” Translation: What you have now is all you will have for Server 2016. In the blue section, it is stated that these features are available only with the Desktop Experience, and not the Core editions.
these features.įor each feature, including Server Essentials Role, more information specific to the feature is provided. However, there are no developers working to improve/repair/etc. It is fairly clear, (as clear as Microsoft can be…), that the list of “Features we are no longer developing” will be maintained through the most current update for Server 2016. This does *not* imply that the features CURRENTLY included in 2016 (the “no longer being developed list”) will be included in 2019. Translation: “Server with Desktop Experience” will release again in Windows Server 2019. Just trying to understand what was meant by “They *are* present in the Server with Desktop Experience installation option, which we last released with Windows Server 2016 and will release again in Windows Server 2019.”
