Windows Server, version 1709

Windows Server, version 1709 is the server counterpart to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. By this point, Microsoft had dropped the Windows Server 2016 name and as a result, it refers to itself as simply "Windows Server". This was the first Windows Server release that was part of the Semi-Annual channel (Now General Availability Channel). Due to it only being available in Server Core, Desktop Experience components are not present. Support for the operating system ended on 9 April 2019.
