SMB encryption for Window Server 2019

Question

Dear Microsoft team,

How are you ?

I would like to ask about SMB encryption for Window Server 2019. Follow this page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/configure-smb-client-require-encryption?tabs=group-policy. However, look like we don't support for Window Server 2019. Do we have any chances or the way to update it, Because we could not upgrade Window Server 2025 with a thousand computer like this.

I am already create GPO to enable it, but it did not show in there :

Please help

Quang
