Unfortunately, this preview does not introduce any new features.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The company has not clarified in its <a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/windows-server-insiders\/announcing-windows-server-preview-build-26311\/m-p\/4278648\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">announcement<\/a> the specific purpose of build 26311 for Windows Server 2025, especially since it does not offer any enhancements compared to the previous preview build, version 26304.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the earlier build brought a significant addition: Windows Defender Application Control for Business (WDAC). This feature incorporates various security enhancements for Windows Server 2025.<\/p>\n<p>WDAC acts as a software-based security measure that minimizes the attack surface by creating a list of approved software that can operate on the servers. For Windows Server 2025, Microsoft has designed a standard policy that can be applied using PowerShell cmdlets, which is supported by the OSconfig security configuration platform from Microsoft.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>In the recently unveiled preview build 26311, Microsoft has introduced the Windows Server 2025 Security Baseline Preview. This feature is designed to assist administrators in setting up security by offering a recommended security posture. It enables them to establish a tailored security baseline for their physical servers or virtual machines, utilizing over 350 preconfigured Windows security settings.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a default policy has been created for this feature, allowing administrators to easily implement it on servers using OSconfig and PowerShell cmdlets.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent build in the Windows Server 2025 Insider program is now ready for download through a variety of channels. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that this version may not be accessible in certain regions, and its support period extends until September 15, 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related reading<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techzine.eu\/news\/devops\/124661\/microsoft-ends-windows-server-update-services\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft ends Windows Server Update Services<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techzine.eu\/tag\/features\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">features<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techzine.eu\/tag\/microsoft\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techzine.eu\/tag\/preview-build\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Preview Build<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techzine.eu\/tag\/windows-server-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Windows Server 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>&#8220;<span>*<\/span>&#8221; indicates required fields<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Cohesity has finalized a deal to acquire Veritas&#8217; data protection&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Commvault is renowned for its backup solutions, but is increasingly aiming&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The recent Synnovis ransomware attack highlights the vulnerabilities that exist in today&#8217;s digital landscape.
