Don't get me wrong it is targeted for viruses and all, but not like Windows Server. I prefer Linux because it's not as targeted. But even Remote Desktop, in the recent months, has had exploits. The only thing I allow is just Remote Desktop so I can manage it. At the same time, I've had to configure Windows Firewall to block everything and only allow any kind of traffic going to the server.

So I don't run antivirus on the Windows Servers VMs that run the StarWind SAN software. The antivirus blocked or deleted a legitimate OS file that it thought was a virus. Or, there have been times where an antivirus company has made a mistake regarding its virus definitions and it took down the server. Similarly, if you use Windows Update, you can get blue screens.

With Windows, there's always that fear that, if you add any software to it, if you need to configure monitoring software or the like, DLL conflicts and blue screens can result. They have it for individuals who want to use it on their servers, but not on HCAs. They already have Linux but it's not as mature and they don't really support it on HCAs. It's going to take time for them to get their Linux implementation to that point.
#5nine manager console rdp install
One area for improvement of the solution is that I had to get the HCAs with Windows Server installed to install the StarWind SAN software on, which I really didn't want because of the extra maintenance or overhead, as well as viruses, etc.
