Introduction to DHCP Failover on Windows Server 2019 DHCP Failover in Windows Server 2019 enables two DHCP servers to share a scope’s IP address pool, providing continuous DHCP service even if one server fails. This is far superior to the older “split scope” approach where each server held half the addresses, because DHCP Failover allows […]
Introduction to BitLocker Network Unlock on Windows Server 2019 BitLocker Network Unlock is a feature in Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10/11 Enterprise that allows BitLocker-encrypted drives to automatically unlock when a computer boots on the corporate network, without requiring user interaction to enter a PIN or insert a USB key. This is particularly useful […]
Introduction to Software-Defined Networking on Windows Server 2019 Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in Windows Server 2019 provides a programmable network infrastructure that decouples network configuration from the underlying hardware. Windows Server 2019 SDN, part of the Microsoft SDN stack, includes Network Controller (NC), Software Load Balancer (SLB), Windows Server Gateway (WSG), and Hyper-V Network Virtualisation (HNV). […]
Introduction to File Server with DFS Namespaces on Windows Server 2019 Configuring a File Server with DFS Namespaces (DFSN) on Windows Server 2019 combines a traditional SMB file server with a virtualised namespace layer that gives users a single consistent UNC path regardless of where the files physically reside. This is particularly powerful in multi-site […]
Introduction to Work Folders on Windows Server 2019 Work Folders is a role service in Windows Server 2019 that allows users to synchronise work files between corporate servers and their personal devices (Windows, iOS, and Android). Unlike traditional file shares that require a VPN connection, Work Folders uses HTTPS for synchronisation, making it accessible from […]
Introduction to SMB File Shares and NTFS Permissions on Windows Server 2019 SMB (Server Message Block) file sharing is the foundation of Windows file services. Windows Server 2019 uses SMB 3.1.1 — the latest protocol version — which includes AES-128-GCM encryption, pre-authentication integrity checking, and improved performance. Combined with NTFS permissions (the access control system […]
Introduction to Routing and Remote Access Service on Windows Server 2019 Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) is a built-in Windows Server 2019 feature that provides multi-protocol routing, remote access VPN, and site-to-site VPN connectivity. RRAS can function as a software router supporting RIP, OSPF (through third-party plugins), BGP, and static routes; as a dial-up […]
Introduction to Remote Access VPN with SSTP on Windows Server 2019 Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is a Microsoft VPN protocol that tunnels PPP traffic over HTTPS (port 443). Because it uses port 443, SSTP traverses almost all firewalls and web proxies that allow HTTPS traffic, making it one of the most compatible VPN protocols […]
Introduction to Always On VPN on Windows Server 2019 Always On VPN (AOVPN) is Microsoft’s successor to DirectAccess, introduced with Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, and significantly improved in Windows Server 2019. AOVPN automatically establishes a VPN connection when a user’s device is outside the corporate network, without requiring user interaction. Unlike DirectAccess, AOVPN […]
Introduction to Failover Clustering on Windows Server 2019 Failover Clustering in Windows Server 2019 provides high availability for workloads by grouping multiple servers into a cluster so that if one node fails, another node automatically takes over the workload. Failover Clustering is commonly used to protect Hyper-V virtual machines, SQL Server databases, file servers, and […]
