We use ServerOS. We have four running systems worldwide so far. Server 2012
and 2016 with no server related issues on any. I don’t know any reason that
Server would be required however for any of the below…
All are now running Windows Server as VM’s on ESXi 6.5 Hosts.
ESXi 6.5 Host
Windows Server 2012/16
vCenter (if ESXi fails to start you can bypass
vCenter anyway, so it being hosted on the machine it admins is not an issue)
Jenkins
Windows Server 2012/16
Visual SVN
Windows Server 2012/16
VS 2012/15/17 Build servers (running Cruise
Control, but talking about switching to Jenkins)

Subject: Re: Windows Desktop OS or Server OS is good for Jenkins master
Thanks Dirk.
Actually we will be providing Windows VMs. Not Linux.
Hence looking for a piece of advice. - Desktop OS or ServerOS ?

No, none of them. Despite the "Server" part in the name even Windows Server
isn't a (good) server OS (file locks, desktop popups, slow filesystem, etc).
We've just migrated away from a Windows based Jenkins master to a Linux based
one a few months ago and all those problems are gone now. Do yourself a favour
and avoid Windows if you can...
Just my 2 cents.
Bye...
