Is anyone running their Config Mgr on Windows Server 2016? I was in the process of building my new CM1606 server on Server 2016 and it just feels bloated compared to Windows Server 2012 R2. And seeing crap services running like below:
[cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]] I disabled the xbox crap and maps manager. Hard for me to think this stuff is installed by default in a server OS. Considering dumping this build and going to back to Server 2012 R2. Anyone else have any dealings with this OS?

No reason to change anything as far as GPOs goes to my knowledge. The policies you've called out below are for autonomous operation of the WUA which is unnecessary and best disabled using the last policy that called out - this is the same as it's been for all ConfigMgr releases.

I've just enabled the product type in the SUP and now I'm trying to figure out if there's any GPO settings I need to set. My understanding is that 2016 with a GUI (which this box is), is treated as LTSB and shouldn't receive feature updates for 5 yrs. So the GPO settings I'm seeing that are relevant to 2016 are: Turn off auto-restart for updats during active hours Specify deadline before auto-restart for update installation Select when feature updates are received Select when quality updates are received So those first two settings seem to regard active hours which I want nothing to do with since we have ConfigMgr. Feature updates I'm figuring won't need to be configured (deferred) because they don't exist for LTSB. Quality updates I'm hoping I don't have to defer if I'm using ConfigMgr. At the moment we disable the "Configure automatic updates" GPO setting on all systems and use ConfigMgr so I'd like to just continue this way with our 2016 server if possible. ********************************************************************* The contents of this email message and any attachments are intended only for the addressee and may be confidential, private or the subject of copyright.
