just for interests sake, re dhcp:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-2000-server/cc958936(v=technet.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDNW. T. F. Microsoft? This is crazy stuff. And it conflicts with what they (and everyone in the industry) was teaching the year before, and in the years since. This must be some kruft from that terrible Win2K release. What a mess.

ext4 is a given. What is common in the SMB realm?
ext4 is what you find in the SMB 98% of the time. XFS is what we recommend most of the time.
Why XFS over EXT4 ? Honestly curious.

Reliability, performance. EXT4 has some essentially pointless features that make it popular with the non-production set like the ability to shrink an on the fly partition. Not something you use in prod or a server, not something I've ever used, but in theory, a niche need in a lab or consumer system. But giving up performance or stability for that? Crazy (outside of lab or consumer.)
EXT4 is very good for a desktop, and has a slight edge in the small file transactions common there. XFS has a performance edge with nearly all workloads. Nothing is the best always.

Wonder what it would take to automate upgrades like that via Powershell.. New project!
