Quickbooks Desktop Compatibility with Windows Server 2019

[yohankurniadi]

I have QuikcBooks Enterprise Solutions - Retail Edition 19.0 installed on my PC Server which running with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition. I planning to upgrade my server to Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition. Could QB 19.0 run in this version?

Please advice.

Thank you.

Windows Server 2019 release date was October 2018. Servers today are being shipped with it. When is it going to be supported by QB 2019? It's now March 2019!

Ditto on this.   Server 2019 is now available on Azure so we need to be aware when support for QB is going to be avail.

Don't do it. (yet)

While it worked fine for a while when it stopped -- QB Support was not able to help.

[Charies_M]

I appreciate you for joining this thread, IDOCH.

Our QuickBooks Desktop Support follows the system requirements. Given that the Windows Server 2019 is not yet supported in QuickBooks Desktop, we're unable to expedite the process.

Together with my colleagues above, I assure you that our engineers are working on implementing this soon. Please know that here at Intuit, it is always our aim to cope up with technological innovations that will meet our customers' needs.

For now, I encourage you to visit our QuickBooks Blog. From there, we share recent happenings and future developments plus, you're able to get the latest news about QuickBooks and what our Product Care Team is working on.

Drop me a reply below if you have other concerns and I'd be happy to help you out.

[IDOCH]

I understand the compatibility requirements.

On the other hand, Server 2019 reached Generally Availability  in October of 2018 and here we are almost a year later. QuickBooks Desktop is rather adamant about their users staying on the most current version (of THEIR software) while forcing businesses to make accommodations to run older OSs to use QuickBooks.  Such situations as deferring upgrades and/or the associated expenses of keeping older servers running just for QB are not always understood by business leaders.
