Whooops, sorry for posting in the wrong sub section ! (admin informed) Looks like there is no specific ISO of Essentials, but you use indeed Datacenter with an Essential key...only availabel to OEMs...hum... Roles missing as well it seems ? :S
sumbody scraped teh "essentials experience" outof svr2016 a few yrs back & made n installer 4 svr2019 mite still works on svr2022 ?
Well, probably worth a try, if it does not bring additionally "hickups" inside of a productive environment.
Is that a problem? Install windwos server 2011 and you get the same Windows Essential, only lighter and more productive.
Well, the "classic" Essentials was (is) quite a simple and quick way to set up and work with an complete environment. p.s. If I download the 2022 Server LTSC VL now, would there be any standard Essential License Keys out there already ? Because I got told installing "Server 2022 Standard" using a Essentials key, will still show Server 2022 Standard inside of Windows... ?!
But what are the chances in todays world, that a "simple" future kb update will mess with your whole network, after using this "workaround".
