Accessing trials and kits for Windows Server
Updated May 20, 2022: This issue is now resolved. Please visit the Microsoft Evaluation Center at www.microsoft.com/EvalCenter for access to the latest trials and evaluations for Windows client, Windows Server, and other Microsoft products and kits. |
As you may have noticed, the Microsoft Evaluation Center is temporarily unavailable. While work is underway to restore this valuable service, you can access Windows Server and Windows client trials, evaluations, and related kits at the links below.

Note: The Deployment Lab Kits include the 90-day evaluations of Windows 11 or Windows 10 listed above. They are updated every 90 days with a fresh version of the 90-day evaluation software. As a result, please note that the Windows 10 deployment lab kit will be refreshed by May 16th with a new 90-day evaluation of Windows 10 Enterprise.

Heather_Poulsen this is beneficial for some, it doesn't help those of us who might need access to 2012 RC2 or 2016. Sure the latest and greatest is good, but for a startup that has a limited budget it might be better to go with older versions and move to the latest and greatest once the business gets stronger.

Heather_Poulsen Hi, The link you provided is not for Windows Server 2019, it has been installed for Windows Server 2016, Can I have a valid link for Windows Server 2019 STD Evaluation

- Laxplaya282Copper ContributorAny one else's download of the ISO fail half way through?
- Stephan1978Copper ContributorHello Heather, is there maybe also a 180-day evaluation version of Windows Server 2016 en-us ISO available? The ISO file should normally be on the eval center and I need it for my education. Since the center doesn't work I can't find it anywhere.
- tjs275xCopper ContributorWow thanks! We just got a new server and needed the ISO to install.
- italiaajCopper ContributorThis is awesome, thank you!

KainStropov - It looks like you can grab the evaluation of the Windows Admin Center here: http://aka.ms/WACdownload

Heather_Poulsen - I can only imagine how many more of this style of request. I am traveling to a remote site and thought that I would be able to easily download the Hyper-V Server 2019 eval version (the free core hyper visor - not the one embedded within server 2019 standard (core)), but lo and behold, Microsoft has different plans. It seems like it would not take MS over a week to correct the access to the eval center. I wish these trials were available within my BusinessAccount. You posted a very nice list the basic full versions of Server 2022 and Server 2019, but not the version that I believe that I need. Do you know the location of Hyper-V Server 2019 (the last [at this time] free version of the Microsoft Hypervisor)?

TFMJ_SEI - Good news! The Microsoft Evaluation Center is back up. Use the navigation at the top of the page to locate the Windows Server and Hyper-V evals you need.
- TFMJ_SEICopper Contributor
Heather_Poulsen- Thanks for the direct reply. I saw the reply from another and have already begun my downloads.

Many thanks Heather!! I hate to be a burden but... Could you give me a link to Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager .iso?
- Timmy_LutzCopper ContributorOr better also the links to SCSM, SCOM, SCORCH, in the 2019 and 2022 versions. 🙂 that would be great.
