Azure Devops has deprecated the build worker Windows Server 2016 (‘windows-2016’).
Repos using that for unit test or integration tests need to move to ‘windows-2019’,
‘windows-2022’, or ‘windows-latest’ before March 2022. This may cause problems
with assuring support on older operating systems. It could even result in support
for older operating systems to be dropped for DSC resources, unless the community
can find a way to easily run integration test on these older but still
(by Microsoft) supported operating systems.
