We have a 2016 Server Essentials PDC, and now we'd like to add another DC for failover/backup purposes.

Will it be OK to use 2022 Server Standard for this second DC? (Web searches are returning answers to just about every question except this specific one.)

    Generally speaking AD is supported on a platform for the life of the platform. There also haven't been that many changes in AD since 2016. – Greg Askew Jun 05 '22 at 11:09
