We're running Management Reporter (GP) on a Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V instance, but we'd like to upgrade to Windows 2025. Does Management Reporter run on a 2025 Hyper-V instance? We've seen this resource

System Requirements for Microsoft Dynamics GP | Microsoft Learn (see Server Recommendations: Customer Profile 2 which includes MR)

which implies it does not, but we're not sure if this is simply a typographical oversight, or if there's a known technical reason why Management Reporter specifically WILL NOT run on 2025 Hyper-V. Thank you -

Hi Kirk,

As the end of life for Dynamics GP has been announced, Microsoft themselves will not check for compatibility and then also not update the system requirements. I would suggest to test it yourself and evaluate if you want to take the risk of running GP and or Management reporter on an OS which is not officially supported.

Thank you. Yes, testing it ourselves is certainly an option, but it's a time-consuming one considering setting up Windows, Hyper-V, SQL, GP, and Management Reporter itself. We would be starting from scratch. So, yes, that's definitely an option, but we're hoping to hear from others that may have it installed in a 2025 environment. Perhaps there's a subtle little gotcha that prevents this - you know, that last 10%... ?

Thank for your reply!!

Kirk, I would think these requirements are going to have to be updated and tested for Server 2025. There is still a lot of time between now and end of life and they're going to have to release updated guidelines (whether they like it or not).

There are other alternatives to MR out there and I am sure you know that already. Microsoft is also pushing Power BI as a replacement (SSRS is going away too to be replaced with Power BI Reporting Services) so they're working an angle with that somewhere too.
