This is a question for my users/admins :-D

why do you still use BIOS instead of EFI? For any particular reason? VMware recommends EFI for Windows Server 2022. Our Window Server 2022 template is EFI.

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.

 

Windows Server 2022 creates one recovery partition just on the right of the C: partition. So, when it is required to expand the C: partition it is impossible due to this recovery partition. I realised of this problem because our IT department provides Windows Server virtual machines users are unable to expand.

I would like to know how are you dealing with this problem. Do you remove the recovery partition? Do you keep the recovery partition? how?

Hopefully, it was previously announced to update as soon as possible before disclosing the vulnerabilty. Good job by security experts and Vaultwarden team!
