    22538 and all preview Insider builds are not signed with production certificates and are not supported in production. These builds are for testing and validation purposes only.

        22538 is not an Evaluation version of Windows Server 2022. 22538 is a preview version of Windows Server VNext (the branding in the preview has not been updated yet). Evaluation version of Windows Server 2022 may be obtained here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2022. The Evaluation edition may be converted to production with the appropriate product key. Hope this helps.
