    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:

JoachimKrone Sorry for the delay -- we've had to dot a few i's on the business side, but as Elden shared we've been actively working on the topic.  This morning we announced that, based on feedback from customers, we are updating our support policy for Microsoft 365 Apps on Windows Server 2022, available through October 2026 (mainstream support).  The announcement is here: Windows Server 2022 adds support for Microsoft 365 Apps - Microsoft Community Hub and we'll have the support and documentation updated in coming days.  Thank you for your patience!
