    First off I would like to thank everyone for the feedback and apologize for the delay in responding to this thread. Your feedback has made a difference, and sparked many internal discussions... we have customers running M365 on WS2016 and WS2019 today, and we want to enable staying current and secure being able to upgrade to WS2022. 

     

    <UPDATED EDIT> In response to your feedback we have announced support for M365 on Windows Server 2022, please see this link for additional information:

    Again, thank you for your feedback and passion!!

rtravni42 we're facing same problem - strategic decisions how to handle onPrem RDS with M365 cannot wait until 2025. Provide multi-session Win10/11 for onPrem or keep RDS alive!

Really appreciate EldenChristensen looking into this! Keep going!

    Yeah, but again you forgot Support for Multitanant Scenarios.

    Sorry to say this, but all your team is delivering are peaces, not a working model for broad markets.

    1) Get Multitanancy to ASHCI Sceranios

    2) Get Support for M365 on Server 2022 BUT also be clear what the restrictions are

    3) Get clear about the end of support for M365 in remote scenarios in 2025 and stay with your decision before everyone will put ton of investments into it and you rethink it in 2024... 

     

    SO make your homework, for all partners, not just for the enterprice customers....

    Hi Elden,

    As far is i know there is no Multi Tenant for Azure Stack HCI. So no Option for Service Providers to transfer there Business to Windows 11 Enterprise multi user if there are needs to stay in their Datacenter.

    So is there Support for Office 365 on Windows Server after 2025 or a Multitenant Option for Azure Stack HCI to put multiple Customers on a Azure Stack HCI Cluster.

    Best Regards,

    Bernd
