Hi,
I have been given task to complete Windows Server in-place upgrade from 2016 to 2019.
I wanted to know if I do in-place upgrade from Windows server 2016 to 2019, all my server roles (Hyper-V, ADFS etc) will show up in windows server 2019?
Thanks
PrasadWF

In theory yes, but an in-place upgrade is risky and never recommended. Better option is to export the virtual machines / copy off to removable, rebuild host, patch fully, add hyper-v role, import virtual machines.

Thanks DSPatrick,
One of my windows server 2016 is having ADFS ( Active Directory Federation Services ) role also installed.
How do you suggest to upgrade it to windows server 2019?
I'd ask that one over here.
