Some minor changes to pricing and channels, announcements coming very soon. Yes, there is a Windows Server 2022 Essentials edition. Microsoft's Elden Christensen wrote on in this Techcommunity post that an Essentials Server 2022 is coming. And Tymoteusz Partyka pointed out another place, where Essentials has been mentioned. German blog reader Oliver Sommer mentioned within this German comment, that he just have gotten licensing and pricing information on Essentials 2022. However, due to the Hyper-V Server topic, there was then feedback from German blog readers (thanks for that) – that Microsoft also offers Essential licenses for small business units. The websites of colleagues also assume until now that there will be no Essentials. I have also searched the Internet, but have not found anything on the topic in the last days. There is not a word about Windows Server 2022 Essentials in the above blog post by Caldas.

I remembered my German post Windows Server 2019 Essentials, der letzte seiner Art?, in which corresponding plans of Microsoft to discontinue this licensing were addressed.

Redmond had made the product available without much notice, and interested parties could download a corresponding evaluation version. I had already addressed the availability of Windows Server 2022 on Augin the blog post Windows Server 2022 LTSC released. It's a strange story in my eyes, what's going on with Windows Server 2022 from Microsoft at the moment.
