Re: Hyper-V Server 2022
Guest OS licenses depends on the edition you choose. If you have Standard, then it includes 2 guest OS licenses. If Datacenter, then it includes unlimited guest OS licenses. So yes, you can install the Hyper-V role on your Windows Server. Then create a VM and install another instance of Windows Server in the VM. You can also run all the Linux VMs you want. Thanks!

Free 'Microsoft Hyper-V Server' product update Since its introduction over a decade ago in Windows Server 2008, Hyper-V technology has been, and continues to be, the foundation of Microsoft’s hypervisor platform. Hyper-V is a strategic technology for Microsoft. Microsoft continues to invest heavily in Hyper-V for a variety of scenarios such as virtualization, security, containers, gaming, and more. Hyper-V is used in Azure, Azure Local, Windows Server, Windows Client, and Xbox among others. Starting with Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019, the free ‘Microsoft Hyper-V Server’ product has been deprecated and is the final version of that product. Hyper-V Server 2019 is a free product available for download from the Microsoft Evaluation Center: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2019 Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 will continue to be supported under its lifecycle policy until January 2029, see this link for additional information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/hyperv-server-2019. While Microsoft has made a business decision to no longer offer the free 'Microsoft Hyper-V Server' product, this has no impact to the many other products which include the Hyper-V feature and capabilities. This change has no impact to any customers who use Windows Server or Azure Local. For customers looking to do test or evaluation of the Hyper-V feature, Azure Local includes a 60-day free trial and can be downloaded here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-local/ . Windows Server offers a free 180-day evaluation which can be downloaded from the Evaluation Center here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter Microsoft remains committed to meeting customers where they are and delivering innovation for on-premises virtualization and bringing unique hybrid capabilities like no other can combined with the power of Azure Arc. We are announcing that Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 was the last version of the free download product and that customers begin transitioning to one of the several other products which include Hyper-V or consider Azure.

We are just about to release Windows Server 2025, and there will not be an ARM64 version. We are however doing internal R&D, which is why you may be catching sniffs of some things unintentionally leaking out here and there. We are very closely listening to feedback and gauging interest. Sandeep is on this thread and is the owner of our ARM64 investigations for Windows Server, be sure to start a conversation with him. If you want to chat offline, feel free to email me at EldenC @ microsoft12KViews6likes0CommentsRe: Hyper-V Server 2022
Hey Zak, this is a really big long thread. For Imschmidt's sanity and the huge numbers of others who get email spam notifications about it, let's not hijack this thread to another topic. Please start a new thread, and I'm happy to talk about Windows Server UI strategy. Thanks! Elden816Views0likes5CommentsRe: Move from server Vnext insider preview to future RTM
You can absolutely test the Windows Server Insiders builds today, however neither the Insiders builds nor the RTM build are supported in production. Not until we reach General Availability this fall that WS2025 is supported in production.924Views0likes3CommentsRe: Bluetooth and Wireless display not working on Windows Server 2022
We have added WiFi and Bluetooth to Windows Server 2025, please go try out the Windows Server Insider builds and give us feedback to ensure it meets your needs. This was in direct response to the feedback in this thread, so help us make sure we are going to deliver what you want 🙂4KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Server Insider: lack of attention / releases
We release builds to Windows Server Insiders every 2-weeks. Sometimes things happen, like around the holidays where there might be some delays... but overall that's the plan, every 2 weeks. And it is our plan to add Feedback Hub to vNext, should hopefully be showing up in the Insiders builds soon Should be another Insiders build coming this week Thanks!

/wave from the Windows Server product team. I just want to confirm what Karl said, we have been monitoring this thread and we hear your feedback. For the next release of Windows Server we have addressed these issues. THANK YOU for your feedback and passion for Windows Server!!! I announced a week ago at Ignite, here's the session if you want to go learn more about what is coming in the next release of Windows Server: What’s New in Windows Server v.Next (microsoft.com) Thanks!! Elden Christensen Principal Group PM Manager Windows Server Development Team19KViews5likes6CommentsRe: Hyper-V Server 2022
SQLSlacker there has been considerable innovation in the last decade. Thinking of what Hyper-V was in it's first release is not accurate. We just announced the next set of features coming to vNext at Ignite a week ago: What’s New in Windows Server v.Next (microsoft.com) This thread discusses the discontinuation of giving Hyper-V away for free with the "Microsoft Hyper-V Server" edition. Which has nothing to do with the Hyper-V feature. Hyper-V is foundational technology for Microsoft, it's the foundation of Azure, XBox, Windows Server, Windows 11, Azure Stack HCI, and more. Do not confuse the decision to no longer give it away for free, with our commitment and investments in the Hyper-V feature. Thanks!

SMTP was 'Deprecated' in Windows Server 2012, see the following link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh831568(v=ws.11)#smtp SMTP was included up through Windows Server 2022, and will be 'Removed' in Windows Server vNext. You will see that SMTP has been removed in current builds in Windows Server Insiders. Thank you for reporting this issue with IIS6 Manager crashing. The IIS development team has been made aware of this thread and is investigating. Thanks!!

The new support policy is that M365 is supported on Windows Server during its Mainstream support period. The Mainstream support period is the first 5-years and there are new LTSC releases of Windows Server every 2- 3 years. Stay Current | Stay Secure | Stay Supported Thanks!

Yup, there are strategic reasons for doing things as well. But the battle for the on-prem hypervisor of a decade ago is over and VMware's demise in the wake of the acquisition is imminent. So a shift in strategy, competitive landscape, and a lack of revenue... result in a shift in priorities and business decisions.7.6KViews1like7Comments
