- Engineer — Plan: Mainstream support ending means no new feature or non-security fixes, though extended support (security patches) continues. Start migration planning to Windows Server 2025 this quarter to avoid a rushed lift when extended support eventually terminates.
- SOC/IR — Skip
- Leader — Plan: Add Windows Server 2022 migration to the infrastructure roadmap and next budget cycle; security patches continue under extended support, so there is no immediate risk, but delaying planning creates future upgrade-cost pressure.
- Engineer — Plan: Audit your Server 2022 inventory and document any features relying on mainstream-only support; no immediate patching action required since security updates continue through extended support until 2031.
- SOC/IR — Skip
- Leader — Plan: Note the October 2026 mainstream support end on your risk register and vendor lifecycle tracking; security patches continue, so no urgent action, but budget planning for eventual migration or extended support agreements should begin this quarter.
