Is it possible to configure Office Online Server on the 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2019?

Question

On the URL https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeonlineserver/plan-office-online-server, Microsoft indicates that the supported operating systems for Office Online Server include the 64-bit edition of Windows Server 2019 (Office Online Server July 2021 patch or later required).

However, when we try to execute the following command:

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl 'https://officeonline.grupoica.com/' -ExternalUrl 'https://officeonline.grupoica.com/' -EditingEnabled:$true -CertificateName 'grupoica'

We get an error:

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm : The operation has failed. The server has not met the following prerequisites:
- The 'Pen and Handwriting Services' feature of Windows Server must be installed and enabled.

So, the question is: Is it possible to configure Office Online Server on Windows Server 2019?

Based on the information you provided, it seems that the ‘Pen and Handwriting Services’ feature of Windows Server needs to be installed and enabled for the configuration to be successful. But this feature doesn't exist on Windows Server 2019.
