Defender WSL Plugin for Windows Server

[IntuneAdmin]

So with the previews of Microsoft Connected Cache with is running on WSL2, and for Enterprises a server installation is the best option. I like to see that the WSL plugin for Defender also can be used on the Windows server OS (Now only Windows 10 and 11 is supported)

I am just curious, @IntuneAdmin, is this an issue of official support or are you running into an issue with getting the WSL working on Windows Server? Which Windows Server versions (2022, 2025, etc.) would you like to see supported?
