- This will result in a full address as follows:
  - https://<BUCKET_NAME>.s3.<REGION>.amazonaws.com
- Only one Server can write to a bucket, but any Server can archive to multiple locations.

Server

Enhancement – psfpi – performance improvements around recording service restart on very large recording volumes. – #19034
- Massive overhaul of how video is selected for deletion to make room for new video.
- Large volumes resulted in a long indexing time which could result in throttling after startup.
- Rather than building an index of all the possible files that could be deleted including checking if storage rules exist, now, the oldest video is found using the directory it lies in, then the oldest is checked for storage rules.
- PSFPI plugin now supports debug level logging – more information to come.

OS password complexity requirements during OOBE – #20566
- Similar to evserver password requirements
- Applies to kiosk user as well
Disabled the OOBE prompt for entering three security questions, as well as the “Do more across devices…” OOBE prompt – #21620
Removed Intel ProSET drivers and software due to non-support from Intel on BSOD’s deriving from them. – #21523
- This will disable teaming on Windows 10 as Microsoft does not support teaming on Windows 10 natively.
- They reserve native teaming for Windows Server.
- We have been supporting teaming via 3rd party drivers (Intel) in this case. (not ideal).
- Further, Microsoft is making it harder to implement teaming on Windows 10 by taking away the Control Panel applet for configuring teaming in LTSC (the current version of Windows 10 we are shipping).
- It will still be possible to side-load the ProSET drivers to existing machines which will re-enable the teaming options in the exacqVision Client.
