Discovery misclassifying Windows Server Standard 2019 build 10.0.19042

Import · Mar 27, 2021 · article

For Windows Classification, Discovery relies on OS Caption to classify different flavors of Windows Operating System. For some 2019 OS Servers, the caption lacks the year (ex: Microsoft Windows Server Standard), preventing Windows Classification from correctly classify these as Windows Servers instead of Computer. This happens for the latest OS build 10.0.19042. All other OS builds returning the expected Caption. Due to this change on Microsoft Side, we'll need to redesign our Classification logic to accommodate the change since genuine Windows Server 2019 change where Caption does not contain year anymore.
