Microsoft he decided to take command “sudo” Of Linux are Windows server 2025.
The use of this functionality, more than a custom for lovers of the penguin operating system, will offer administrators the possibility of having greater control regarding the execution of elevated commands. The sudo command, in fact, has contributed over the years to making Linux a more secure system than Windows.
Microsoft has released the first preview build of Windows Server 2025 Insider last week. Despite this, within a short time, an even more advanced version was leaked online. Precisely in the latter, as reported by the site Windows Latestthe leaked version contains some new features in development, including the presence of the Windows sudo command.
Could the sudo command be coming to Windows 11 soon?
When we talk about “presence of command” we are not referring to its actual introduction.
The experts, having identified its existence, have in fact enabled the developer mode and they found out that the command is not yet working. Despite this, some settings already present would reveal its imminent introduction.
Windows already offers the ability to automatically elevate programs using i prompt UAC, causing programs to run with elevated privileges in their own window. However, some administration tools like bcdedit e reagentc, must be run by an administrator. In these cases, the sudo command will allow programs to run according to your Windows settings.
And what about Windows 11? In this regard, there appear to be no signs for an introduction of sudo in the short to medium term. Despite this, the introduction in Windows Server shows that this eventuality is not so remote.
Certainly, even just the arrival of the command in the context of Microsoft’s server operating system demonstrates how the Windows and Linux universes are not as distant as they were just a handful of years ago.
