CRITICAL - Storage Spaces: ReFS mirrored storage space will not free up space, related Defrag issues
This is an issue introed in the build of Windows 10 1903, first reported 8 months before release. I didn't thought this would be included in to Server 2022 LTSC since I have successfully worked on t...

Karl-WE yes, absolutely
Sorry for the delayed response, we have been internally discussing. It sounds like you are already working with CSS support and they have already provided a private which resolves the issue. That fix is now going into our servicing pipeline for release in a future monthly Cumulative Update. We are targeting that fix for a cumulative update for WS2022 / AzS HCI 21H2, however I don't have a date for you at this time. Continue working with your CSS contact.
Sorry,
Elden

Elden_Christensen thank for taking your time to reply Elden. I appreciate it a lot and gives me clarity that things will go the right route.
If you can spare some there is other feedback with feedback of mine. I know you basically rule out GUI changes but basically think these could be small effort fixes with a good result for those that still need Server with GUI. I am a Server Core advocate, but well other vendors don't play nicely. Citrix is one of them demanding a GUI instead of Features on demand to support their legacy consoles.
I want to hesistate to repost my requests here to keep it clean I am sure you will find them. Thanks for feedback (VSS, Server Manager Print Role, TLS etc)- Elden_ChristensenJun 16, 2021

The vast majority of customers use the Desktop installation with Windows Server, it delivers the lowest OpEx and I'm all good with that... Server Core is an option for those who choose it, but do what's best for you. With that said, using the desktop for server management... is about management, and my previous comments were about using a server with desktop installed purely as a client is not a high priority. Such as running iTunes to stream music 🙂 It's just a prioritization, as there are only so many dev's and so many hours in the day... but if you have feedback related to server management with the GUI, I'm all ears- fbifidoJun 17, 2021Brass ContributorCan you make Windows Admin Center, replace Server Manager when it comes to adding AND "Configuring" Roles & Features ???
Pretty Please & Thanks.
