Hi everyone,   I've recently downloaded the Windows Server 2022 ISO from the Microsoft Evaluation Center, and I want to ensure the integrity of the file by verifying its SHA256 checksum. Unfortunat...

richie3791 Probably a bit late for your use, but here's what I generated from a fresh download from MS:

 

File: SERVER_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso

DL Date: 06/25/2024

 

MD5: e7908933449613edc97e1b11180429d1

SHA-256: 3e4fa6d8507b554856fc9ca6079cc402df11a8b79344871669f0251535255325

SHA-1: 70ab5af6264c2f967dccafc16fd9a46b6f0b07a7

CRC32: e764eba4

SHA-512: 83b8e7bc29995ea16c01954452ef52635d2cf381790c36334881015cace9f98905f55fdec0c94239b1ba035b479b24df7db88ac177bb16558cba5078412b9fbe

 

Seems unbelievable that MS doesn't provide these up-front. Especially after the APT breach, the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee and Brad Smith promising to do better. This strikes me as a simple place to start...

 

A redditor, Available_Western560, claims that to see checksums on the download page "you need to change your user agent to a non windows system on your browser, so that the microsoft website will give you the option to download the ISO and the option to see the hash/checksum list to compare to" - but unfortunately this didn't work for me (shrug)

 

Not sure how quickly the ISO will change, but I hope this helps someone!
