Anyone installed Windows Server 2019 on a T630?
I'm considering upgrading our PowerEdge T630 from Windows Server 2016 Standard edition to Server 2019 due to the extremely long monthly update times with Server 2016. I see that Dell lists the T630 as supported for Server 2019, but a Dell tech I spoke with recently said that they have "very limited support at this time for that OS" which isn't too reassuring. Is anyone running Server 2019 on a T630 and if so, how is it working for you?
Our server has the PERC H730 w/two SATA drives in RAID 1 and Intel NICs.

Hello
You can find information about supported operating systems here:
https://www.dell.com/support/contents/article/product-support/self-support-knowledgebase/enterprise-resource-center/server-operating-system-support
I suggest checking any of our management applications, like OpenManage Server Administrator, to make sure they are supported in the OS. There may be configurations that are not supported by an operating system. Some hardware has limitations, like the S-series storage controller. There are OS limitations that go beyond the system support for some hardware.

I don't run 2019 in a production environment, but it is the OS I run on my main test server(R720) in the lab. I can't recall any issues I have experienced with reduced functionality by running 2019.
Thanks
