Microsoft Windows Server 2019 for Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers Release Notes

If you select Hyper-V role enabled while ordering a server at www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/ecat/enterprise-products, you are provided with a pre-installed virtual machine. You can use the virtual machine files available at C:\Dell_OEM\VM on your server along with the Hyper-V Manager to import virtual machines on this system. Under the normal licensing restrictions of Microsoft. For more information about the terms of licensing, see the End User License Agreement that is shipped with your product.

The VM available at C:\Dell_OEM\VM allows you to select an operating system language during the setup process. The virtual disk (VD) attached to this VM is dynamically expanding, expandable up to a maximum of 127 GB, and can be converted to a fixed disk. To increase the VD space, create a VD and attach it to the same VM. Before you convert the VD provided by Dell EMC from dynamically expanding to fixed, ensure that you have a minimum of 127 GB of disk space on your server.

Windows Server Datacenter edition has the right to include unlimited number of VM instances. These VMs are activated automatically using Microsoft's Automatic Virtual Machine Activation (AVMA) process. For more information, see Automatic virtual machine activation at www.docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started-19/vm-activation-19.

The Windows Server Standard Edition includes the right to two VM instances. However, extra VM licensing, in increments of two VMs, is available and can be purchased separately.
