Windows 10 Differences LTSB and LTSC
Windows 10 Differences LTSB and LTSC
Windows 10 LTSB and Windows 10 LTSC are not separate editions of Windows, but a service model for Windows 10 offered by Microsoft for corporate customers.
Differences between LTSB and LTSC in practice
Besides the major feature upgrades released twice a year (Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, Windows 10 April 2018 Update, Windows 10 October 2018 Update, Windows 10 April 2019 Update, these are also regularly released bug fixes and security updates. Windows 10 LTSC stands for „Long Term Servicing Channel“ and is an update channel reserved for corporate customers for the Windows 10 Enterprise edition with long-term support. For a certain time, this was called Windows 10 LTSB, which stands for „Long Term Servicing Branch“. The renaming coincided with the discontinuation of Windows 10 CCB or Current Branch for Business, another test channel for business customers that was no longer available and where they could test new Windows 10 features for eight months before implementation. The update channel for normal customers without long-term support also has a name. Before renaming Windows 10 LTSB to Windows 10 LTSC, Microsoft called it Windows 10 CB, which stands for Current Branch. In the meantime, Microsoft uses the name Windows 10 SAC or Semi-Annual Channel to match the updates that are released in April and October of each year. This is available for the Home, Pro and Enterprise editions. Windows 10 LTSC is reserved for customers with the Enterprise edition. Corporate customers with Windows 10 LTSC receive an upgrade offer with new features every 2-3 years instead of every six months, which they can accept or reject. Important security updates and bug fixes can, of course, be installed separately, as with the consumer version Windows 10 SAC. Furthermore, unlike the consumer version, Windows 10 LTSC comes without pre-installed apps. The IT department of each company can compile the desired standard installation itself via so-called deployment options. The advantage of Windows 10 LTSC is the long-term support from Microsoft
of up to six years. In comparison, with Windows 10 SAC, end customers are provided with separate security updates and bug fixes for only 18 months after the release of one of the twice-yearly updates and are thus practically forced to receive regular feature updates.

Are you still not sure whether you want to buy a Microsoft SQL Server or whether it makes sense for your company to buy a Microsoft Exchange Server? Feel free to contact our customer service, we will be happy to advise you!
Windows Server 2019 - An Overview
Windows Server 2019 – An overview of the different versions
Since 2018, the new Microsoft server operating systems Windows Server are available. As with the predecessor Windows Server 2016, there are also different variants of Windows Server 2019 . Again, similar to Windows Server 2016 Essentials, there is the slimmed-down version of the operating system, Windows Server 2019 Essentials, and versions with a greater range of functions. Microsoft also offers a standard and a data centre variant. The versions differ in their range of functions and are thus aimed at different target groups and different purposes. How these differences look like and for whom which variant is the right one, we present in this blog article.
Only three versions of Windows Server left
Unlike the older edition, Windows Server 2012, Microsoft now only offers three versions of the Windows Server 2019 operating system. These are the Essentials, Standard and Datacenter versions. Versions such as the Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise variant are therefore no longer available. Those who are considering purchasing a server operating system should perhaps not get the older Windows Server 2016. This version is available today at a reasonable price, but the end of support in 2022 is already foreseeable. When purchasing a new system, it is worthwhile for security reasons to buy the latest version directly.
Windows Server 2019 Essentials
The most basic and affordable version of the operating system is the Windows Server Essentials version. While the feature set of Standard and Datacenter is very similar, Microsoft has programmed the Essentials variant with a reduced feature set and a small number of possible licensing options. This version is thus specifically tailored to small organisations and companies. Compared to Windows Server 2016 Essentials, the new version has been significantly improved, especially in the areas of „hybrid scenarios, „application innovation“, „hyper-converged infrastructure“ and „security“. Virtual networks can now be encrypted more easily with Microsoft’s Encrypted Networks and protected more reliably against forgery and eavesdropping attempts. Access to a network running Windows Server 2019 is automatically limited to 25 users and 50 devices. An organisation can only run one server with this operating system, as the Essentials Server must also be the domain controller. Therefore, this version is not interesting for institutions with more than 25 employees.
Windows Server 2019 Standard
The range of functions of the Standard version is already significantly greater than that of the Essentials version. Two virtualisation rights for two virtual machines can be used with the Standard version. The Standard version offers the possibility to buy additional rights. This means that institutions of any size can purchase the Windows Server 2019 Standard version with peace of mind if they need to use more advanced functions with their servers, but only need a small virtualisation level. The supported computing power of the Standard version is greater than that of the Essentials version. Windows Server 2019 Standard Multilingual and the Windows Server Standard Open Licence have a RAM limit of 24 TB and no CPU limit anymore. However, a minimum of 16 cores per server and 8 cores per processor are required.
Windows Server 2019 Datacenter
Windows Server 2019 Datacenter is the most comprehensive version of Windows Server 2019, and the hardware requirements are the same as the Standard licence. With the higher price for the Datacenter, in contrast to the Standard version, unlimited visualisation rights are also included, which means that this version is primarily aimed at larger companies that have particularly high demands on their IT systems and a high virtualisation requirement. In addition to the unlimited number of virtual machines and Hyper-V containers, the Datacenter offers even more features. These include, for example, „Storage Spaces Direct“, which simplifies the work with Software Defined Storages. For example, the server’s memory can be used independently of its hardware. Other features of the data centre that the standard version does not offer are Shielded Virual Machines and software defined networking.

Unpacking ISO files with WinRAR
Unpacking ISO files with WinRAR
How to unpack ISO files?
The ISO file can be stored on the computer and considered as a copy of a CD or DVD. But how can you open the ISO file? Can you open the file directly? Actually, the extension of the ISO file is .iso and obviously you cannot open this file directly. Instead, you have to unpack the ISO file first. But how can you unzip ISO file? Can you unzip the ISO file for free or do you have to convert the opened ISO file? So to unzip ISO file, one should burn ISO images on a CD or DVD and then access the file in the image. But nowadays, with the help of modern ISO utility software, you can integrate, unpack or view the ISO file without burning the file to a disc. Next, I will show you the method for unpacking the ISO file. WinRAR is a free file archiver for Windows, MAC, Linux, FreeBSD and Android developed by Eugene Roshal of WinRAR GmbH. It can create and display archives in RAR or ZIP file formats and unpack numerous archive file formats. WinRAR also supports the creation of encrypted, multipart and self-extracting archives. The following compression formats are supported:(RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip). Further down you can download WinRAR for free.
How to unpack ISO files with WinRAR?
As mentioned above, the ISO file is in the format of the archive and most operating systems cannot process the ISO file. To unpack the ISO file, you need to install an archive utility or a compression utility. Here WinRAR is the best option for you. Take a look at the following steps.
Step 1: Download WinRAR
Step 2: After downloading, you can install the setup by double-clicking the WinRAR icon to start the installation process. During the installation process, you need to set some parameters, such as linking the „WinRAR with“ option. Under the box, you need to make sure that you have checked the „ISO“ box because if you select the ISO option, your computer will automatically unpack the ISO file with WinRAR.
Step 3: Unpack the ISO file on your computer. Locate the ISO file you want to unzip, and then look for the WinRAR logo on the ISO file. You just need to right click on the ISO file and select „Extract Here“. And then the ISO file will be extracted into a folder. Or you can just double-click the ISO file to open it. The WinRAR will display the ISO file in a new folder and allow you to check the details of the ISO file.
Then it’s done from unzipping the ISO file using WinRAR. It’s not hard at all, is it? Besides WinRAR compression utility, you can also find a lot of additional software for your reference, such as Ultra ISO. You can choose which one you prefer.
