I think we did it for the downgrade rights. I've been doing open licensing the last few servers. I support many accounting firms running Intuit products and currently have clients with RDS, local, and Azure environments. Let me know if you have any questions on any of this. I say easily because you won't be running any Active Directory roles on there that may cause potential headaches. When Server 2022 is eventually added to the list of supported Operating Systems, you can easily upgrade 2019 to 2022.
Install quickbooks desktop 2021 install#
Install the QB Database Manager and RDS on the Data/File Server. With the downgrade rights, here is what **I** would do: Install Server 2022 Standard as a Hyper-V hypervisor, and two virtuals (you can run 2 virutals with Standard): Server 2022 DC, and Server 2019 Data/File server. I highly recommend that you stick with the supported environment of QuckBooks Enterprise (current version is 22.0) and Server 2019 with RDS. I have had the pleasure of working with QB support before and I can tell you from experience that if you ever need to contact them, and you are running anything that isn't officially supported, they will tell you (in so many words) that you are on your own. Now, regarding Server 2022: We have one client running Server 2022 Standard and the QB Database Manager runs just fine on it. See the section "QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with Cloud Access" on this page: Opens a new window QuickBooks is indeed supported with RDS, however only with QuickBooks Enterprise. I'm leaning towards Windows 2022 with downgrade rights or 2019 with SA.

However RDS isn't as big of as deal to fake as something like the software won't install because of OS version. But they also don't support RDS (Last I checked).
