Windows Server 2022 Essentials

Hello,

I'm interested in setting up a Hyper-V environment and was wondering if it's possible to install Windows Server 2022 Essentials as the Hyper-V host and then also install Windows Server 2022 Essentials as the domain controller on the same setup.

Can this be done under a single license?

Thank you!

    Hello,

    Although this might be slightly outside my area of expertise, I've come across some useful information from Windows Server | Licensing Guide

    Windows Server Essentials edition server is for small businesses with up to 25 users and 50 devices. A server license covers up to 10 cores and 1 VM on single-socket servers. Windows Server Essentials is available through our OEM Server Hardware partners only.

    Windows Server Essentials edition permits use of one running instance of the server software in the physical OSE on the licensed server (in addition to one virtual OSE), if the physical OSE is used solely to host and manage the virtual OSE.

    Windows Server Essentials will continue to cover a single server with up to two physical processors. It does not require Windows Server CALs, but is limited to 25 user accounts. However, Windows Server 2022 Essentials is only available through OEM licensing.

    I hope this information helps.

    Best regards,

    Karlie
