VMware Workstation 16.1.0 build-17198959
When creating a new virtual machine with any version of Microsoft Server 2019 after July 2020, only Datacenter Core and Standard Core are displayed in the "Version of Windows to install" pull-down menu. I noticed this in VMware Workstation 15.x as well.
I did notice though, that during the setup of Windows Server 2019 Nov 2020 in VMware Workstation, even though it didn't have just "Datacenter" and "Standard" available from the pull-down menu, the Windows Server installation did prompt for the Core version and the "full desktop experience" GUI version. When I picked the GUI version, Windows Server standard installed with the GUI.
Again, curious that it's not availble from the VMware Workstation pull-down menu.
