Of course, the whole article and replies beg the question...
Why is anyone running business critical systems on a client operating system???
Folks, the Windows client (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10) is not meant to be a server.
If you need a server, get the server—not client—bits to install the OS.
Client systems are supposed to be used by an individual user, or multiple users one-at-a-time, such as shift workers.
The cost of the server license (whether Windows or a paid for Linux variant) is more than offset given the horrors and potential costs of a less robust client OS eating you apps, data, or not upgrading properly.

The link is for Server 2019.
Server 2016 is great, robust, and if installed using Server Core, almost never needs an update and keeps on chugging 24/7, 365—and a lot cheaper!!! ($500).
So true, so true. And yet a few hundred dollars makes many people decide "Oh, it'll be fine on the client OS". And then I end up supporting their bad decision when it causes problems. Drives me crazy.
*sigh*
