The new security capabilities in Windows Server 2022 combine other security capabilities in Windows Server across multiple areas to provide defense-in-depth protection against advanced threats. Advanced multi-layer security in Windows Server 2022 provides the comprehensive protection that servers need today

It is May 24th.  I called QB Support this morning to verify that Enterprise 22.0 Release R4P would run under Microsoft Server 2022.  Our server hosts the data - we run QB on Desktops.  I was told that it would run under Server 2022.  This is critical and I trust QB Support to provide the correct answer.

Hi -

We have QB enterprise 2021 and our IT team are ready to install Windows server 2022.

Can this be done? Will QB enterprise 2021 work on windows server 2022?

thanks

Hello @lamessin,

I'm glad to see you joining the thread here in the QuickBooks Community. I'd be happy to assist you with installing QuickBooks Desktop 2021.

As of now, Windows Server 2022 isn't listed yet as part of the supported operating systems for the 2021 version. Some users have already upgraded and were able to use the program without any issues.

Thanks for your reply. We are using enterprise 2021. Windows server 2022 is being installed in my office. If we upgrade to Enterprise 2022 is it supported?

@AlcaeusF 

We have QB 2021. I want to know if we can still use it when our office installs Windows Server 2022

thanks

Laura

They will support QBD 2021 until May 2024. I would recommend to try installing QBD 2021 on your Windows Server 2022. Make sure not to uninstall your Windows Server 2019 for the being. I'm not sure QBD 2022 will run on Windows Server 2022 smoothly at this time.

Hello, Laura.

Let me share additional information about using or running QuickBooks Desktop 2021 in Windows Server 2022. 

Currently, the list of supported operating systems for QuickBooks Desktop 2021 and 2022 versions does not include Windows Server 2022. However, some customers have upgraded and have no problems using the application.

Hello - WHEN will QB Desktop be certified to work on Windows Server 2022 - it is now July 2022 and Server 2022 has been released for 11 months - what is taking Intuit so long to certify QB with this O/S? I have to replace an older 2008 R2 server and I am being offered Server 2022 as the only O/S option.

When are your people going to be finished with compatibility checking?

Hello, DaCheezel.

We have major problems with QBE2022 and are planning a new server and fresh install. QBE installs leave MANY leftover problem accounts, ports, etc and we've been running on this older server for a few years now. From what I see currently there are some permissions issues with prior QBE20xx related accounts that were never properly set and assigned despite using the Tool Hub and running through debug with support many times. 

Our new server comes with Windows Server 2022 and we strongly prefer that option. We need Server 2022 support ASAP for our QBE2022! 

Checking in to see if there are any updates on the QuickBooks compatibility with Server 2022

Hello, Svanhart.

I'd like to give an update regarding the QuickBooks compatibility with Server 2022.

I am using Windows 11 and for some reason when.  When windows updates it doesnt let me log into my quickbooks.  I am using QB 2022 Enterprise.  Can you help me with this?

Hi Mashworth,

Thank you for joining us here in the Community space. I can help you log into your QuickBooks Desktop.

Are you getting an error? First, I recommend checking if you meet the system requirements for the 2022 version. You may also need to adjust some settings on your Antimalware and antivirus programs to get the best QuickBooks performance.

Next, you can install the latest updates manually from our download site. This way, any latest fixes and updates are installed on the program.

Once done, run some troubleshooting if QuickBooks won't respond or you get an error that says it stopped working, Start with running the Quick Fix My Program from the QuickBooks Tools Hub. You can follow the detailed steps in the order shown in this link: QuickBooks Desktop won't open.

If you notice possible data issues or suspect data damage, you can perform some troubleshooting steps. I've attached an article you can visit for additional guidance in QuickBooks: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

Get back to us if you need further assistance accessing the QuickBooks program. We'll be sure to keep in touch with us in this space. Have a great day ahead.
