Microsoft has released the latest Windows Server build for members of the Windows Server Insider Program. The new build number is 26236 and it is the same build number for the just-released Windows 11 Canary Channel build. Keep in mind that this and future Windows Server Insider builds now have the Windows Server 2025 branding.
This appears to be another minor update as the change log is nearly identical to the one that was posted for the last preview build. The one change is a previously known bug that stated some users may encounter boot issues with creating secure-boot Gen 2 VMs has now been listed as resolved. Here is the full change log:
What’s New
Delegated Managed Service Accounts (dMSA)
A new account type known as delegated Managed Service Account (dMSA) is now available. This type allows for migration from a traditional service account to a machine account with managed and fully randomized keys, while disabling the original service account passwords. Authentication for dMSA is linked to the device identity, meaning that only specified machine identities mapped in AD can access the account. Using dMSA helps to prevent harvesting credentials using a compromised account (kerberoasting), which is a common issue with traditional service accounts.

If you signed up for Server Flighting, you should receive this new build automatically later today. For more information, see Welcome to Windows Insider flighting on Windows Server – Microsoft Community Hub
The new Feedback Hub app is now available for Server Desktop users!
The app should automatically update with the latest version, but if it does not, simply check for updates in the app’s settings tab.
Known Issues
Upgrade does not complete: Some users may experience an issue when upgrading where the download process does not progress beyond 0%. If you encounter this issue, please upgrade to this newer build using the ISO media download option. Download Windows Server Insider Preview (microsoft.com)

Flighting: The label for this flight may incorrectly reference Windows 11. However, when selected, the package installed is the Windows Server update. Please ignore the label and proceed with installing your flight. This issue will be addressed in a future release.
Setup: Some users may experience overlapping rectangle voids following mouse clicks during “OOBE” setup. This is a graphics rendering issue and will not prevent setup from completing. This issue will be addressed in a future release.
WinPE – Powershell Scripts: Applying the WinPE-Powershell optional component does not properly install Powershell in WinPE. As a result, Powershell cmdlets will fail. Customers who are dependent on Powershell in WinPE should not use this build.
If you are validating upgrades from Windows Server 2019 or 2022, we do not recommend that you use this build as intermittent upgrade failures have been identified for this build.
This build has an issue where archiving event logs with the “wevetutil al” command causes the Windows Event Log service to crash, and the archive operation to fail. The service must be restarted by executing “Start-Service EventLog” from an administrative command line prompt.
If you have Secure Launch/DRTM code path enabled, we do not recommend installing this build.
