Microsoft has not yet commented on an issue where Windows Server 2025 was mistakenly installed on some systems due to a labeling error in a security update. The update, labeled as KB5044284, led to unexpected installations when third-party patching software misclassified it. This has caused operational risks and licensing issues for affected administrators. Microsoft has since pulled the update, but a rollback solution remains unavailable, raising concerns about update management and the risks of automatic upgrades.
Microsoft is introducing the "sudo" command to Windows Server 2025, a familiar feature for Linux and macOS Terminal users, allowing users to elevate their privileges to root access when using command line control. This concept is reported to be included in a newly-leaked preview build, as per Windows Latest.
Microsoft is introducing the Linux 'sudo' command to Windows Server 2025, allowing admins to elevate privileges for console applications. The leaked preview build of Windows Server 2025 includes new settings for the 'sudo' command, which is currently in early development and requires developer mode to be enabled. This feature aims to provide a way for low-privileged users to execute commands with elevated privileges, similar to its functionality in Linux. While not yet available in Windows 11, it is possible that Microsoft may integrate this feature into the operating system in the future.
