After reviewing compatibility documentation, windows server 2019 seems to not be compatible with our hardware. I contacted IT about licensing for educational purposes, and they seem confident about our use case. However, they are going to contact Microsoft to double check. In the meantime, I have installed Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation. This comes with a 180 Day trial period. This is plenty of time for us to figure out our preliminary data-syncing concept, as well become acclimated to the Windows Server environment.
