VMware have “Tech Preview” status for Windows Server 2022 at present, meaning that as Microsoft have only just made Windows Server 2022 “Generally Available” (GA), there may be some blocking issues that need resolving by Microsoft or VMware may be required to release a patch to support this operating system (OS). Realistically it’s going to be premature to start migrating your entire environment to Windows Server 2022, but in the interest of helping you work out where your support status is, consider the following. IMPORTANT: Microsoft are making TPM 2.0 support mandatory, if you’re looking to install onto existing hardware, be sure you meet the hardware requirements.
Interested to learn what’s new in Windows Server 2022? You can check out Microsoft’s post on the subject here. Alternatively if you have a suitable agreement with Microsoft you can also download a copy from VLSC or MSDN. If you’re looking to grab an evaluation copy of Windows Server 2022 you can do so here. This is evidenced in Microsoft’s updated Windows Server Release Information document. It’s been released today 18th August 2021, it will have mainstream support until the 13th October 2026 and will be considered end of life on the 14th October 2031 (how are we talking about the 2030’s already?!).

However, be sure to read the release notes if you’re utilizing vSphere tags. Granted, my lab installation is pretty straightforward. For a long and detailed list of enhancements, take a look at the Release Notes for Veeam Backup & Replication 8.0 Update 2 found in Veeam KB 2024.Īs with past upgrades, I found the process quick, painless, and no-nonsense. Improvements were made other areas such as Microsoft Hyper-V, SQL Server, file level recovery, and Veeam Cloud Connect. Not only is Update 2 vSphere 6 hypervisor aware, but it also supports many of the features baked into vSphere 6 such as VVOLs, VSAN, Cross-vCenter vMotion, tags, FT virtual machines, and Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM) backup and restore. Talk about red carpet treatment from an organization which values community – it’s hard to find a better example than Veeam. I was personally notified in a DM via Twitter as promised. The announcement ( here’s another) from Veeam came yesterday following the vSphere 6 launch by about six weeks. Veeam Backup & Replication 8.0 Update 2 has arrived and with it comes compatibility with VMware vSphere 6.
