Windows Server 2025 Consulting:
Planning, Deployment, Management and Support
Windows Server 2025 enhances the technology behind Windows Server 2022 to deliver improvements in vital areas including tighter security, faster and more efficient storage, Microsoft 365 application support, and unified management for on-premises, multi-cloud, and hybrid deployments.
Enhanced features in Windows Server 2025 include:
- You can use Hotpatch to apply OS security patches without the need to restart your server.
- Dev Drive supports block cloning with Windows Server 2025, offering faster file copying, reduced I/O to the underlying storage, and higher storage capacity by enabling multiple files to share the same logical clusters.
- The new NVMe standard optimizes storage performance for fast solid state drives (SSDs) in Windows Server 2025, increasing IOPS and reducing CPU utilization.
- Enhancements to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Active Directory Lightweight Domain Services (AD LDS) help optimize domain management.
- VBS key protection protects against exfiltration assaults launched by an admin-level attacker.
- The new SMB authentication rate limiter guards against brute-force authentication attacks.
- The SMB client for Windows Server 2025 supports blocking NTLM authentication for remote outbound connections. This keeps attackers from fooling clients into sending NTLM requests to malicious servers, protecting against brute force, cracking, and pass-the-hash attacks.
- You can use Bluetooth to connect mice, keyboards, headsets, and other peripherals to Windows Server 2025.
- Starting with Windows Server 2012 R2, you can upgrade directly to Windows Server 2025 as many as four versions of Windows Server at a time.

This includes servers located on premises, hosted on Azure, on multiple public clouds such as AWS EC2 instances and Google Cloud, or in various edge deployments. By installing the Azure Connected Machine agent on each server, you can create a unified management experience that treats every system enrolled in a hybrid environment as an Azure resource that can benefit from standard Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and the application of tags.

Migration Expertise from Progent

Windows Server 2025 is available in Standard, Datacenter, and Datacenter: Azure Edition versions. Datacenter editions support Software-defined Networking (SDN), Storage Spaces Direct, unlimited virtual machines and Hyper-V isolated Containers (vs. two each for the Standard Edition), plus Host Guardian Hyper-V Support. Only Windows Server 2025 Datacenter: Azure Edition has support for Hotpatching. Most of these technologies are discussed in Windows Server 2016 consulting services.
The two installation options available for Windows Server 2025 are Server Core and Server with Desktop Experience. Server Core supports conventional applications and role-based workloads but does not have a traditional desktop interface. This so-called "headless" version has the advantage of a small footprint with a correspondingly small attack surface, but it must be managed remotely via the command line, PowerShell, or a GUI utility such as Windows Admin Center. The Server with Desktop Experience option is a full installation and features a comprehensive GUI that permits local management. Progent's consultants can assist you to select the editions and installation options most appropriate for your environment, understand Microsoft's licensing requirements, and design a value-driven on-prem, cloud-hosted, or hybrid deployment model.
