Windows Server 2016

Windows Server 2016 is the server counterpart of Windows 10 Anniversary Update. After two and a half years of development, it was released on 12 October 2016 and is the successor to Windows Server 2012 R2. It was succeeded by Windows Server version 1709 in the semi-annual channel and Windows Server 2019 in the long-term servicing channel.

As with Windows 10, it now uses a new periodical release system, and as a result many builds after the RTM still identify themselves as Windows Server 2016. Builds for the multiple updates can be seen on their respective pages.
