What versions of the Windows Server can PSM operate on?

The correct answer identifies the versions of Windows Server that are compatible with the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) component of CyberArk. PSM is specifically designed to work with supported Windows Server versions that ensure optimal functionality and security for managing privileged sessions.

In this context, Windows 2019, Windows 2016, and Windows 2012 R2 are all officially recognized as compatible operating systems for PSM. These versions provide the necessary environment for PSM to operate effectively while maintaining the required security frameworks and features integral to CyberArk's functionality.

Choosing any of the other available options would not align with the known compatibility standards set for PSM by CyberArk. For instance, options that include Windows 2012 or earlier versions (like Windows 2010 or versions referred to by year such as 2014 or 2013) do not meet the current requirements and may not support the security and performance enhancements that PSM delivers. Therefore, the adherence to Windows Server 2019, 2016, and 2012 R2 is vital for ensuring that organizations can leverage the full benefits of CyberArk's solutions.
