Question about Windows Server 2022 compatibility

[casalicomputers]

Hi,
for a client we will have to prepare a Proxmox server containing some Windows Server 2022 VMs and we found various threads reporting random crashing. We usually use few Windows machines, but the client requested some and we would like understand if there are some known problems.
We don't think the filesystem is going to matter for the question, but, for completeness, we would like to use ZFS or LVM for Proxmox depending on some client requirements.

Thanks a lot for the dedicated time,
Have a good day

There were some problems for example in QEMU, but they are resolved. So as long as you update PVE to the current state and use a current version of virtio-drivers you should be fine.
At least I don't know of any remaining problems.

Unfortunately the client required a lot of Windows Server 2022 VMs, so we need to know if there are any known incompatibilities before proceeding with the installation. In April 2018, we encountered issues with a server deployment where some Windows Server 2016 VMs were used, they randomly restart themself while working. Then the issue got solved by updating Proxmox to the latest version which fixed the issue, but we would like to avoid such a situation.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I wanted to ask you specifically if any of those are Domain Controllers? I am thinking about migrating an expiring server 2022 eval that runs Hyper-V to proxmox and wanted to see if anyone is running DCs off of only proxmox. I have a PDC right now on PVE, but also have the one on the windows install. Just wondering if you've experienced anything concerning Proxmox DCs.

runs just smooth, like all other Win2022 Servers, also the Centos servers - just everything.
keep in mind: Proxmox is baded on KVM, AZURE is based on KVM - and on azure runs millions of servers

Awesome, I appreciate it! Yeah, I guess that does make sense; there is a lot invested in making sure it plays nice these days, huh? I am still quite new to this administrating ADDS though and wanted to see if I was missing something. Thanks for your reply.

Glad everything runs smooth for you, but one of your points is incorrect. Azure runs on Hyper-V, not KVM

In contrast, AWS *does* use Amazon’s custom version of KVM (Nitro)
