- Joseph ZolloCopper ContributorHi Thomas!
Quick correction - Microsoft did not add WSL until Windows Server v1709. Windows Server 2016 (LTS) does not have this feature unfortunately.- Ryen TangBrass Contributor
Yes, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is only available on Windows Server 2016 Build 1709 or https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/whats-new-in-windows-server-1803#windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl.
Your VPN step-by-step docs are great. I always link to them (TechNet forums) for users having setup issues.
- Thanks Dave :) glad you like it!
