Windows Server Support

[In my experience,] Microsoft offers little to no support in the initial stages after purchasing Server 2022. Called, told to fill out a support request. Did that. Support called, had to transfer to [the] business department. Business dept. told me to contact another dept. (forgot name). Told them all that has happened [and] I got thrown into a transfer loop. [I feel that they] didn't care a single bit. [In my experience they] kept re-reading [their] script.
