MicrosoftWindows Server 2022 adds support for Microsoft 365 Apps
Updating our support policy through October 2026
Based on feedback from customers, we are happy to share that we are updating our support policy for Microsoft 365 Apps on Windows Server 20...
We installed Server 2022 in August 2023, and out of the box we had onedrive sync and other 365 apps working well.
At the end of Oct 2023, work accounts vanished, and all Outlook, OneDrive, and Edge accounts refuse to log in or sync in app.
Users on the server can access web flavours of their account, or local word or excel apps - but everything else is totally borked.
This is a pretty barebones Server without much customization acting in a general shared file / storage role. But it has lost all ability to sync local files with OneDrive / SharePoint online which was the main goal.
It's bizarre that this was working - and then went away - while MS documents say "everything 365 should run just fine".
Another_Tech a new EU data protection rules forced Microsoft to rollout a consent Pop-up for Single Sign-On. A seperate announcement exists on techcommunity.microsoft.com.
Until each SSO user consent OneDrive, Edge Profile and Office 365 Apps are no longer executing SSO. This is likely your current limitation.
On non-persistant systems this needs to be done every day as the consent is a session / user based cookie.
This affect all types of Microsoft Accounts in EU. Business and Home.
OneDrive works great on Windows Server 2022 and 2025.
Karl-WE sure - but I'm in canada.
no work around or setting is allowing us to log in to as a 365 user via RDS / local account with the 2022 Server.
It's only sporting a basic AD setup up and 365 Business standard. The "standard" connections to "basic" azure / entra are all pretty vanilla.
The accounts have no issue on any other machine - and as mentioned - it DID connect and after subsequent windows updates, it no longer connects. I cannot log into 365 desktop apps like Word or Outlook to get a license, or even have Edge browser sync with the profile - but the browser can be used to log into webpages as normal.- We are going offtopic with this if you like to open a new thread in Windows Server techcommunity.microsoft.com and reference a link I am glad to help you with this.
- just avoid any M365 apps and services and stay with standard on prem applications. Easier and much cheaper.
- Office Legacy is for light users of Office and LTSC versions in general missing a lot of things aside from basic w32 applications. For the user and in terms of compliance and data management.
It is not an easy choice. There is enough information that LTSC versions, also speaking of Windows Client OS, are not necessarily intended for usual workloads. And I can tell you that's not marketing. The obstacles and limitations exist.
This source gives you a great idea on what M365 offers when and for whom, what Office LTSC cannot.
