    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.

    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’

    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.

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

    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’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 ?
