    Hi Gloridel,

    Apologies for raising this directly here, but we have now been waiting months on one of these issues, and progress continues to loop without resolution.
    Is there any way you can escalate the following two critical Azure DevOps Server 25H2 issues below to the Product Group, given that both remain unresolved even after Patch 3?

    Bug/Issue 1: was reported and triaged and "This issue has been reported to the Product Group. Updates will be shared as soon as they are available." on Feb 16, 2026.
    Since then, the issue has been reset back to “New”, and there have been no...

    I keep asking this and getting no answers. I hate to be that guy, but without an answer I have no other option than to just keep on asking…
    When can we expect a release of the migration tools for Server ADO 25H2 to ADO Cloud?

      Hi Dave, thank you for your patience. Based on the most recent internal discussions, support for Azure DevOps Server in the migration tooling is currently tracking at roughly ~6 more weeks. This is a working target, not a firm commitment, and may change as validation completes.

        Thanks, Gloridel, that’s great news! At least I now know that it is being worked on 🙂

    Hello,

    When can we expect to get support for Azure DevOps Server to compile with VS 2026 project?
    until now VS2026 is not supported in VSBuild / VSTest / MSTest tasks in Azure DevOps Server GA!

      Hi Asaf, we’re actively working on the next release and are planning to ship these updates in Q3 of this year. Please note that these timelines are tentative and subject to change.

        … and in September the first RC of .Net 11 will arrive potentially only supported in Visual Studio 2027 which will then take about a year to add to?

        Hi Gloridel,

        Visual studio 2026 was released November 11, 2025 and you are planning to support that version almost a year later?
        The support will be a patch for ADO Server (25H2) or a new release of azure Devops Server?

      I second this request and also for Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 so we can get rid of our workarounds before upgrading to ADO 25H2

      It seems like all code changes have been done in azure-pipelines-tasks aside from VSTestV2 which is needed as ADO 2022.2 does not support VSTestV3.
