What's New


Hybrid Cloud and Security

  • – Microsoft Windows Server 2022 features the Secured-core OS option, which uses Trusted Platform Module 2.0 and System Guard secure boot option to reduce risk from firmware vulnerabilities and to help provide multilayer security across hardware, firmware, and the operating system.
  • – Microsoft Windows Server 2022 supports AES-256-GCM and AES-256-CCM cryptographic suites for SMB encryption as well as TLS 1.3 to help provide a communication channel between two endpoints with increased security features.
  • – To provide east-west storage encryption, Microsoft Windows Server 2022 failover clusters support granular control of encrypting and signing intranode storage communications for cluster shared volumes (CSV) and the storage bus layer (SBL).
  • – Improved Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) brings better security, virtual machine isolation, and performance for graphics-intensive workloads.

Modernized Server Infrastructure

  • – Microsoft Windows Server 2022 features containers that allow for packaging apps with their dependencies and using operating system-level virtualization to provide fast, fully isolated environments on a single system.
  • – The Containers extension in Windows Admin Center enables the containerization of apps, as well as troubleshooting for containers running on a host, such as opening a console connection to a container, checking logs, or monitoring resource consumption.
  • – Microsoft drastically decreased the size of the Microsoft Windows Server core container base image by reducing duplicate payloads and removing unused optional components.
  • – Performance and scalability increased with support for up to 48TB memory and 2048 logical processors

Storage Migration

  • – Microsoft Windows Server 2022 offers the Storage Migration Service, which provides a graphical tool that inventories data on Windows, Linux®, and NetApp CIFS servers and then transfers the data to newer servers or to Azure virtual machines, without reconfiguring applications or users.
  • – Capture and migrate legacy access permission settings along with the data for continued seamless functionality of your key business applications. As an option, transfer the identity of the legacy server to the destination server so apps and users can access the data without changing links or paths.

Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Downgrade options


Important Message:

Microsoft has announced new policies regarding Silicon support for Microsoft Windows Server operating system products, including those that are offered through ‘downgrade’ rights.

By placing a request for a Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Downgrade kit, you confirm that your HPE Server meets the Microsoft processor requirements, the details of which can be found at the following link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/system-requirements.


Please note, for the deployed OS to be supported by Microsoft, your HPE Server must meet all processor requirements that are specified and listed for both the licensed product and the downgrade/down-edition (DG/DE) software. For clarity, if you purchased a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and intend to downgrade to Microsoft Windows Server 2019, your server must meet both the processor requirements for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and 2019.


This requirement applies both to customers who have purchased the Microsoft Windows Server OEM license directly from HPE or from an HPE Reseller or Partner. The Microsoft processor requirements are in addition to other hardware requirements for the Microsoft Windows Server operating system products that are specified in the document located at

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/minimum-hardware-requirements-overview.


Microsoft may update the processor requirements and the minimum hardware requirements for Microsoft Windows Server operating system products as requirements change.


Microsoft Hardware Specifications for Standard and Datacenter Editions

Unless otherwise specified, these minimum system requirements apply to both Standard and Datacenter editions.


Processor

Processor performance depends not only on the clock frequency of the processor, but also on the number of processor cores and the size of the processor cache. The following are the processor requirements for this product:


Minimum:

  • – 1.4 GHz 64-bit processor
  • – Compatible with x64 instruction set
  • – Supports NX and DEP
  • – Supports CMPXCHG16b, LAHF/SAHF, and PrefetchW
  • – Supports Second Level Address Translation (EPT or NPT)

Core info at https://technet.microsoft.com/sysinternals/cc835722.aspx, is a tool you can use to confirm which of these capabilities your CPU has.


RAM

The following are the estimated RAM requirements for this product:


Minimum:

  • – 512 MB (2 GB for server with Desktop Experience installation option)
  • – ECC (Error Correcting Code) type or similar technology, for physical host deployments

Storage controller and disk space requirements

Computers that run Microsoft Windows Server 2022 must include a storage adapter that is compliant with the PCI Express architecture specification. Persistent storage devices on servers classified as hard disk drives must not be PATA. Microsoft Windows Server 2019 does not allow ATA/PATA/IDE/EIDE for boot, page, or data drives.


The following are the estimated minimum disk space requirements for the system partition, assuming Server Core installation.

Minimum: 32 GB

Network adapter requirements

Minimum:

  • – An Ethernet adapter capable of at least gigabit throughput
  • – Compliant with the PCI Express architecture specification.

A network adapter that supports Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) is useful, but not a minimum requirement.
