I remember years ago one Windows Update of the vmware drivers that took down all our Windows Servers and they were unable to boot. I thought the recovery partition could be useful for those situations.
Why wouldn't you take a VM snapshot before upgrading?
Because he is not a Chicken?

This is a question for my users/admins :-D
Eh, kinda, but a Windows Server ISO would be equally as useful.
A windows server iso would be a lot more useful since you could do anything including reinstall the OS, or copy files from the installer over. Recovery limits you to mostly just what’s already on the C drive.
Well, yes, but I thought that we're all smart enough to know that here and I didn't have to qualify my statement with "In the scenario that the recovery partition would be useful, a Windows ISO would be equally as useful to the task at hand."
