Microsoft has confirmed that Edge will be available for Linux next October. Almost a year has passed since they announced that their Chromium-based web browser would be compatible with this operating system. Now, they just revealed that the first Linux preview for Edge will be available next month and will be downloadable from Microsoft Edge Insiders or from the native Linux package manager.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will start using this year 2020 the Kopano email server and stop using Microsoft Exchange. This decision is part of the project promoted by this entity to migrate from proprietary software to Open Source alternatives. Another of the actions in this line is the launch of a new portal that will guide both its software developers and other users to contribute to CERN’s Open Source software projects.
Microsoft is going to release a security patch through Windows Update next March which will disable certain authentication mechanisms via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) in Active Directory (AD), including the one used by UDS Enterprise.
As of that date, UDS Enterprise will only work with authentication via LDAPS (LDAP over SSL). Therefore, all UDS Enterprise administrators using the Microsoft AD authenticator in their VDI and vApp deployments must enable “Secure LDAP” (LDAPS) on their Active Directory server or servers.
We begin the year by unveiling some of the new features that will be incorporated to the next version of our connection broker for desktop and application virtualization. We confirm that UDS Enterprise 3.0 will add support for Hyper-V in cluster.
A few months ago we announced the compatibility of our VDI broker with the latest version of the Microsoft hypervisor in Standalone mode. Our development team has continued working to improve this integration and provide also support for this cluster technology.
Now It is possible to deploy Windows and Linux virtual desktops on Windows Server 2019 (Hyper-V) using UDS Enterprise. The developers of the VDI connection broker have been working since Microsoft launched the new version of its hypervisor to provide UDS with compatibility with this technology.
