Support for M365 Apps (O365) on Windows 2022
First off I would like to thank everyone for the feedback and apologize for the delay in responding to this thread. Your feedback has made a difference, and sparked many internal discussions... we have customers running M365 on WS2016 and WS2019 today, and we want to enable staying current and secure being able to upgrade to WS2022.
<UPDATED EDIT> In response to your feedback we have announced support for M365 on Windows Server 2022, please see this link for additional information:

Again, thank you for your feedback and passion!!

Will the new One Outlook work on Server 2022 for RDP? If so, then can at least configure for exchange email and clients can use outlook. Also, if not One Outlook, just any future version of outlook that is not called Office 365?
In short want a solution for RDP on Server 2022 with standalone ver of Outlook.
See https://vdnieuwenhof.eu/do-we-need-to-upgrade-to-windows-server-2022-for-rds-citrix/ and more; Outlook apparently is not supported on Windows 2022 but Office 2019 should work.
Can anybody confirm this?
- Yes but then if you have local Office 365 and LTSC on 2022 you pay double the licensing costs. So customers have no option but to move to LTSC on all platforms. Seems to me that's not something MS would like. They have always been pushing to 365.
- Yes, you are right! License costs will double. Right now Microsofts idea for on-premises remote app /desktop workloads is either a pure VDI or a multi-session workload based on Windows 10 multi-session running on top of Azure HCI Stack.
- We have Office 2016 on Windows 2022 and Office 2019 on Windows 2016 which should not be possible according to this table.
Also it does not differentiate Office versions, for instance, will Office 2021 Professional Plus work on Windows 2022 RDS with Exchange Online licenses?- Good question. If Office LTSC only works with on-prem Exchange it would be useless.
