Minimum Active Directoy requirement for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition?

Copper Contributor

So I have a customer that has a Windows Server 2008 R2 active directory domain controller. Does SharePoint Server Subscription Edition support AD in Windows Server 2008 R2? Seems the offical documentation is not updated.

 

I see SP 2019 supports AD 2003:

SharePoint Server 2019 requires a minimum Active Directory domain and forest functional level of Windows Server 2003 (native).

But in the SPSE documentation, it is not specified.

Googled (and Binged) around with no results. Anyone has a SPSE in AD 2008 R2?

It's the same as 2019 but with that being said, they should really really update as SPSE and SPO (if they will ever move), Will require more feature and function from the AD in the future as well as 2008 r2 is EOL since along time ago (2020).
