I love it, it is fantastic, and makes it so much easier to set up a windows server! I suspect MS is pushing us to the cloud more and wanting us to be/become more skilled IT folks, AND drive us to a more expensive version. None of that makes sense for a SB like me/mine. I'm going to hold my breath and give the script a shot on my company's new server. I've installed and checked this script about 5 times on Virtual Box machines. As long as you manually set AD Domain, it still works great. Stay tuned!
Sounds good to me, but always keeping in mind, that even a "simple update" can screw everything up (even without this script), because of...reasons. And now matter how experienced you are, the Dashboard was a great invention !!! =)
I just learned that WSEE will not allow you to install a TLD (.com, .net, etc.), it only allows .local domains. You can by-pass this by manually setting up an AD Domain Service role, when you first start WS 2019 or WS2022. Then you can start WSEE and it will pick up right after the domain setup part, it detects that an AD Domain has already been installed.
I've tested and retested it on WS 2022 Standard. It still works great! I'm very happy we can still use it!

After testing, there is no more recent version of the server essential package ( installation of server essential 2016 up to date to 2023 ) basically the english version does not change , and the pre-installation in sysprep mode does not work the only method , installation of standard server or datacenter, assigning ip fix minimum then reboot and then install the essential package however the addition of the tls managed by the os and not the application allows a better compatibility Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727] "SystemDefaultTlsVersions" = dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto" = dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319] "SystemDefaultTlsVersions" = dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto" = dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727] "SystemDefaultTlsVersions" = dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto" = dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319] "SystemDefaultTlsVersions" = dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto" = dword:00000001
I did the same thing, will test when I buy a new SSD. I do not want to mess with my current 2016 installed SSD, just in case...
