What's new in Windows Server 2025
Windows Server 2025 is a new version of the operating system from Microsoft, which is in the preview stage. The innovations in this version are aimed at improving the security, performance and flexibility of the system. One of the key features is the integration with hybrid cloud environments, which makes infrastructure management easier with the new Dell Poweredge R750 and Dell Poweredge R760 servers. Below are some of the most significant changes and additions in Windows Server 2025:
- Hybrid and cloud capabilities: Windows Server 2025 improves integration with Azure by offering easy connectivity to Azure Arc to bridge between on-premises and cloud servers. It also includes improved cloud and edge computing capabilities.
- Security: The new version has improved hardware and software security, including next-generation Active Directory for improved security and scalability. New features to protect against changes in security settings are also introduced.
- Productivity: The introduction of live updates (hotpatching) allows you to apply safe fixes without restarting the server, which significantly reduces downtime. Improvements have also been made to the speed of accessing data stores and network functions.
- Modern user interface: Windows Server 2025 provides the same user interface between client and server versions, including conveniences such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.
- Advanced file system and network capabilities: Support for new standards and technologies in file systems and network communication, such as SMB over QUIC, which provides secure connections to file servers over untrusted networks.
- Improvements in resource management: Introduction of GPU partitioning in Hyper-V, which enables memory and compute resources of the GPU to be shared between multiple virtual machines, useful for machine learning tasks and remote workstations.
Enhancements to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS):
- The ability to use a database page size of 32k, which increases performance and eliminates a number of limitations of older architectures.
- AD schema updates, including new database log files.
- Ability to restore AD objects with missing key attributes.
- Improved algorithms for locating domain controllers (DCs).
Integration with Azure Arc:
- Simplifying the process of adding servers to Azure Arc through a user-friendly installation wizard.
Updates to Kerberos and Security:
- Support for stronger encryption and signature mechanisms, including SHA-256 and SHA-384.
- By default, LDAP encryption is used for all client connections after authentication.
Improvements for Windows containers:
- Container portability allows you to easily move container images between hosts without the need for modification.
Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS):
- New features for local administrator password management, including image rollback detection and passphrase generation.
