Windows Server 2022 CALs - these are the advantages

Every user of Windows Server Terminals or Windows Web or Application Servers requires an access right in the form of a User Client Access License (CAL). The Microsoft solution enables group work, file viewing or innovative communication options as well as online content. In August 2021, the new Windows Server 2022 has now been released - with DNS-over-HTTPS, Nested Virtualization and numerous other improvements over the 2019 version.

What are Windows Server 2022 CALs?

With a Windows Server 2022 CAL, users get the latest licensed version from Microsoft to work on servers, remote desktops, and terminals. A User CAL basically allows any user to access desired Windows servers from their own device and from any location. Alternatively, users can take advantage of the new Windows Server 2022 CALs for devices, allowing them to access an unlimited number of computers as the only authorized user. A third option is to fall back on external Connector licenses as an outside user.

Why do you need CALs?

Simply claiming Microsoft Server licenses is usually not enough. Above all, companies and businesses also resort to so-called Client Access Licenses for extensive authorizations and simple work. With the new Windows Server 2022 CALs, they also have the choice between CALs for devices, persons or a mixed form. However, it is not always clear which Windows Server 2022 CAL should be purchased. The question does not revolve solely around which option is economically more favorable. Rather, the devil is often in the details.

Basically, any user or device with direct or indirect access to Windows Server software must purchase a Windows Server 2022 CAL or one of the older versions. The following issues can arise:

  • Individual Microsoft features require separate Windows Server 2022 CALs - example: remote desktop services. However, a separate purchase of a Windows Server 2022 CAL is not necessary if the authentication is included in the Client Access License for the operating system.
  • If multifunction printers access Windows Server services via their networks, a device CAL must be purchased - unless all users of the printer already have a user CAL.
  • Windows Server 2022 CALs are not required for indirect access to Microsoft's server services themselves, but are required for the users or devices that use the server.
  • If the Windows Server 2022 is not used for internal, but exclusively as a publicly accessible web server, CALs are only required if the user has to identify himself to one of his web applications. As an alternative to the Windows Server 2022 CAL, an external connector can also be used here.
  • Up to two system administrators or devices have a license-free access right to Microsoft's server software, they process only administrative tasks. As soon as other activities are performed via the server, client licenses must be purchased here as well
  • Mixed forms arise when external users access applications such as Sharepoint or Lync: No Windows Server 2022 CALs are required for the external connector itself, but for all Windows servers with the software used.

These are the benefits of Windows Server 2022

In mid-August, the new Windows Server 2022 version was launched under the name "Build 20148.169, Version 21H2" and thus follows its predecessor Windows Server 2019 after about three years. The developers at Microsoft have used the time and introduced numerous improvements. The focus was on hybrid networks, cloud applications and data security.

  • Windows Server 2022 CALS are worthwhile already because they will continue to be used as servers in local data centers, but above all can be closely connected to Microsoft Azure. They are managed through the new Windows Admin Center, which connects cloud and datacenter. All services are already fully compatible with Windows Server 2022. Local servers can be switched in parallel to virtual servers in hybrid networks.
  • Thanks to the new Windows Server 2022 version, Kubernetes can be more closely connected to Windows servers, application compatibility of Windows containers has been improved, HostProcess containers for node configuration have been introduced.
  • Also new: Linux and Windows computers can be used simultaneously. The Windows subsystem for Linux 2.0 can be used without separate virtualization.
  • While nested virtualization could previously only be used on Intel processors, it can now also be achieved on AMD processors with Windows Server 2022. 
  • Secured Core Technology brings Microsoft Azure security technologies to on-premises data centers. The Windows Server 2022 DNS client provides encryption of DNS requests over the HTTPS protocol through DNS-over-HTTPS. HTTPS and TLS 1.3 are considered standard. Chromium-based Microsoft Edge enables risk-free use of various web services with the server.
  • Predictive analytics and machine learning enable Windows Server 2022 to better plan and analyze capacity, and System Insight not only measures current system utilization but also predicts future utilization.
  • Storage Replication Services allow data to be shared and replicated across Windows Server, and functions to better match the operating system. The Storage Migration Service provides for the migration of

 

  • local users to new servers
  • Storage from or to failover clusters
  • Linux server storage on a "Samba" basis

 

  • Files are automatically compressed for much faster transfer than manual handling.

From DNS-over-HTTPS to Nested Virtualization, in addition to the new features that Windows Server 2022 CALs are absolutely worth using, features from the 2019 version are also being dropped:

  • Intermediate versions will be discontinued, with all new features added directly to Azure Stack HCI instead of Windows Server.
  • Further development of Guarded Fabric and Shielded Virtual Machines will be halted. These technologies will also be absorbed into Azure Stack HCI.

At the earliest, another version will follow Windows Server 2022 in two years.
