MicrosoftHi Dev,
Reserved storage feature works in Windows Server 2022 similarly to how it works on latest versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11. Here's some documentation to get you started.
- Windows 10 and reserved storage
- Managing reserved storage in Windows 10 environments
- Get-WindowsReservedStorageState
- Set-WindowsReservedStorageState
Is there anything specific you're wondering about?
Set-WindowsReservedStorageState doesn't actually turn it on. It appears successful and returns no errors but running Get-WindowsReservedStorageState afterwards shows it's not enabled so I was questioning if it's actually a supported feature on Windows Server.
- Artem Pronichkinyes, I'd say it *should* work. Is it just one server where you see it not working, or it's a repeating problem across multiple servers? Unfortunately, it's kind of a problem that is difficult to troubleshoot without access to logs and such. I would recommend you opening a support case with Microsoft support services.
- It's not working on a new VM with no polices applied. Thanks for confirming it should work. I'll open a case for it.
- Artem PronichkinHi Dev, I apologize for giving the wrong answer. I just got a clarification from a few folks in charge, and figured out that Reserved storage is *not* supposed to work on Server. In fact, it's purposefully blocked. So, the behavior you're seeing is intentional. Even though the messaging is confusing and should probably be improved. Would you rather see Reserved storage feature available on Server? If so, what scenarios you'll find it useful?
