    There is no option to join on-premises Windows server 2019 to Azure AD. Ususally, any on-premises Windows server cannot be joined to Azure AD and you cannot login to them with AAD credentials.

    However, if you can create a VM in Azure AD with Windows server 2019 and login to that VM using Azure AD credentials.

    You can follow steps in below article to achieve this,

    Let me know if you have further questions.
