Why isn't Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 on the Microsoft Evaluation Center?

I am aware of the recent issues with the Windows Server 2019 evaluation media and that they have been fixed. However, I can't download Hyper-V Server from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2019 . However, http://hyper-v-backup.backupchain.com/windows-server-2019-iso-free-download-hyper-v-server-2019 seems to have official Microsoft links for both Windows and Hyper-V Server 2019. I am confused because Windows Server 2019 is rereleased but Hyper-V Server 2019 isn't. Has Microsoft forgotten about Hyper-V Server 2019? I'd rather not download from a third party site if Microsoft will make it available officially soon. Also, please forgive the URLs that are not links. My account has not yet been verified and I can't post links. Copying and pasting into a web browser should work.

Hi,

People have asked the same questions on the Microsoft Tech Community forums below, at the end of the thread you can see a few replies (last reply a few hours ago) from Microsoft why Hyper-V Server 2019 isn't available yet.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,

The 2019 evaluation took them around 2 months to rebuild after the rerelease. I suspect they're now working on the free Hyper-V Server 2019.

You could mention feedback here on uservoice if desired.
