Does anyone know if running the HCW on Windows Core is supported?

Please let me know.

Can you also provide a link if possible to provide to the client?

Thank you

    Running the Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) on Windows Server Core is not supported.

    The Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard requires a graphical user interface (GUI) to run. To run HCW, you'll need to use a version of Windows Server with a Desktop Experience (the full GUI) or run it from a client machine like Windows 10 or Windows 11.

    Alternatively, you can run the HCW on a management workstation or another server with the Desktop Experience, and it will still configure the hybrid setup for your Exchange environment.
