    Hi!

    I just updated our test environment with this release, and it seems that release pipelines are completely broken. They don’t even start (the status remains “Not deployed”).
    Is this a known issue ?

  • Michael Hauer

    I wanted to download the RC1 but on the download page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/server/download/azuredevopsserver either downloads (exe / iso) lead to RC2 files.

    It really seems to be RC2 build on 09/27/2023.

      Hi Michael, the download page is now linked to RC1 downloads. We will be releasing RC2 mid-October.

      • Michael Hauer

        Will it be safe to upgrade my schroedinger-RC2 test environment to the real RC2?

        Could you please tell us what sprint Update 1 will be set on?

      • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee Author

        You will be able to install Azure DevOps Server 2022.1 RC2 and/or the final release of Azure DevOps Server 2022.1 on your test environmet running Azure DevOps Server 2022.0.1.

      • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee Author

        Azure DevOps Server 2022.1 will include features from sprints 206 – 225. Not sure I understand your question about upgrading with the real RC2. Can you elaborate?

      • Michael Hauer

        I installed the setup provided by yesterdays link (19.225.34127.2) on a test system running at 2022.0.1patch3.
        Will I be able to update this test system on the upcoming RC2 release?

  • Tore Østergaard Jensen (TORE) · Edited

    Would someone be so kind to reveal what version of the pipeline agent is bundled with this release?

    I am specifically interested in knowing if we are getting version v2.220.0 or newer, which should be using a (substantial) never version of git-lfs.

    I’ve been trying to do an unattended setup that includes Search configuration, but the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/server/install/unattended doesn’t give a comprehensive overview of parameters or inputs available.

    How do I find out what inputs I can use that isn’t part of the ini-files created using tfsconfig /create ?

    • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee Author

      Hi Dennis, we are reviewing the documentation and will update with parameters.

    Do not sync tags when fetching a Git repository
    Looked through a couple of the builds and I do not see this option available in the screen, it shows the same options as 2022.0.1 does.

    I had patched our test ADO box with 2022.0.1 Patch 3 previously, and just finished the 2022.1 update, this warning appeared when it completed. I’m guessing you’ll update this task by the time the non-RC version is out.

      Hi Jonathan, we are currently investigating this. We will get back to you once we have details about what is causing this warning.

      • Jonathan Gillette

        Looks like it was most of the tasks updated in the latest patch, when looking through the install logs

        Hi Jonathan, we’ve implemented a fix and will release it with Azure DevOps Server 2022.1 RC2. Thank you for installing RC1 and reporting this issue.

  • Adrian Parker

    Looks like 2022.1 RC1 suffers the same issue as 2022.0.1 where you cannot install and configure it on Windows Server Core (2019 or 2022).

    On Server 2022 Core the installer fails to start with:
    Class not registered

    On Server 2019 Core the server configuration wizard fails with:
    Unable to find an entry point named
    ‘NetFreeAadJoinInformation’ in DLL ‘netapi32.dll’

      Hi Adrian, thank you for installing RC1 and sharing your feedback. This issue will be addressed in the Azure DevOps Server 2022.1 RC2 release.

  • Mike Fourie

    Thanks Gloridel

    Some minor feedback

    • “Pull request widget for multiple repos” is duplicated in the release notes.
    • “Copy Dashboard” – we have this already in 2022.
    • “Interactive boards reports” – its not clear what the change is here when I compare to the SAAS product. The server has all these already.

    Disappointed to not see the Boards experience refresh but still a decent set of updated. Thanks again.

      Hi Mike, thank you for sharing your feedback. We have updated the release notes to address the items that you pointed out.
