Hello Sunny,

As of now, we do not fully support Windows Server 2022, but developers are working on testing our compatibility with it.

For now, we will keep the text unchanged, which means we should close this bug as "NOTABUG." I will continue to monitor the status of Windows Server 2022 support, and will update the list as soon as we support it.

Take care,

Hello Sunny,

Our SSSD engineers believe they will be able to support direct integration with Windows 2022 starting with RHEL 8.7 and RHEL 9.1. As you suggested, we will keep this ticket open so I can make sure to document support for Windows 2022.

Windows 2022 is not currently supported at the time of this writing, but the engineering team did say that preliminary results were good, and they plan to cover a wider range of tests for direct integration during RHEL 8.7/9.1 development. I do not know more details, so if you would like more information about what is not supported, I would recommend contacting the SSSD Quality Engineering team.

Take care,

Josip
