Getting sudo into client editions of Windows was our top priority. We'll restart conversations with the relevant teams to see if there's interest in getting sudo on server somehow

This would be great as an add-on; not enabled by default.

can't you just throw in the Microsoft-Windows-Sudo + Microsoft-Windows-Sudo-ADM SxS components into Microsoft-Windows-Server-Features-Package and call it a day? Microsoft-Windows-Client-Features-Package already has sudo baked into it, so this addition might as well be trivial by modifying the associated CBS update packages for server editions and throwing in that component.

Don't you already run commands as elevated on Windows Server? If so, I'm not sure if sudo would be necessary for Windows Server.

@AvogatoWizardWhisker No, UAC also exists on servers.

It will be nice to have for Windows Server and Windows 10 too.
