Hi Joe,

Yes I do intend to do a similar article for 8.5 once I have time.  I took the screenshots back in late 2017 during an engagement, and it unfortunately took me this long to utilise them in an article for the community; however, I am hoping that I will be faster next time.

Great documentation SK.  Do you plan to do the same for 8.5?  :)

As it happens I'm currently running 8.1 RU4 and currently working on planning my migration to 8.5 running on a Server 2016 OS.  Anyone have tips for migrations to 8.6?  Unfortunatly I'm not going to be able to make it to the Chicago summit in a few weeks to discuss.
