That's right – I’ve upgraded my production web server to be SharePoint Server 2019 on Windows Server 2019!
Windows Server 2019 Preview Install – Smooth

SharePoint Server 2019 Preview – Smooth

SharePoint Server 2019 Configuration Wizard – Smooth
SharePoint Server 2019 provision first web application – Crash w3wp.exe
Delete the remnant and try again – Smooth
Create Blog Web Application – Smooth
Upgrade and attach content database(s) – Smooth!


Setup Blog – Smooth
Forward port 80 – Windows Server 2019 Preview packs a hissy fit – looks to be something with Hyper-V network communication / network driver / beta weirdness – muck with it enough and get it working
We’re up!

I’ll do a more detailed blog post on some of the cool cat stuff coming to SharePoint 2019 in the coming days!
