@jaredbusch yes

Totally just tried to deploy Spiceworks to Server 2016 forgetting how long ago it was abandoned and that it hasn't run on a current Windows version in years. Insane that you have to deploy 2012 R2 new to run that today!

Why are you trying to run Spiceworks? There's no better alternatives?

It runs on Server 2016 just not supported. Windows 10 is supported. Although I find it surprising that you are trying to run it

Yum. Looks like the Server 2008 family.
2008 R2 Exchange 2010. Was looking to migrate to O365 this year as part of a LOB app migration but that died.. so probably next year now.

LOL. Apparently my old roommate just blew off the star of the Walking Dead hitting on her.

Let's get this week's party started!
-
Just finished my last set of morning status checks for 6 weeks
-
Got a XCP-ng server running (on a ProDesk 400). XenOrch is connected to it.
Now to think of things to install and test on it

Just had my WebEx with Scale. Really like the solution
just need to convince Management also confirm suitability -

It uses KVM from my understanding.

It is all wrapped in their own OS.

@scottalanmiller Look at the releases. Just yup.
7.5 was November 2015
Nothing since then but minor bug fixes and an occasional small feature.
Of those incremental releases:
7.5.00104 was released in February of 2018
7.5.00101 was released in March of 2017
with nothing in between. -

Yeah, you do not have any access directly to the OS or the hypervisor. It is a blackbox solution in that sense. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it does limit what you can do.
@hobbit666 The biggest thing about understanding its underlying hypervisor is how you will have to handle migrating. If you have critical workloads that you need moved over it is worth it to pay for their migration service. At my previous job we fought with it to move VMs over from XS. In the end we just rebuilt the servers.
