[German]Quick reminder for administrators who support Windows Server 20H2 installations. Microsoft has announced the end of support for this server version for August 9, 2022. After that, Windows Server 20H2 will no longer receive updates. At the same time, the Windows Server Semi-Annual Channel (SAC) will be discontinued (I had already pointed out this plan in 2021 in the post Future Windows Server versions will only be available as LTSC. Windows 10 20H2 has already fallen out of support in May 2022.

Windows Server 2019 already has LTSC support and only drops out of support on January 9, 2029. For the latest product, Windows Server 2022, Extended Support even ends on October 14, 2031.
End of SAC versions
And there's one more new development: there will be no more future SAC (semi-annual channel) versions of Windows Server, because Windows Server is moving to the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC).
Customers using Windows Server SAC should move to Azure Stack HCI. Alternatively, customers can also use the Windows Server Long-Term Servicing Channel.
