Microsoft Adds Nano Server to Bug Bounty Program

Nano Server, a new installation option available in Windows Server 2016, is a remotely administered server operating system designed for data centers and private clouds. Nano Server is small, fast and requires fewer updates and restarts compared to Windows Server.

Microsoft says the product is ideal as a compute host for Hyper-V virtual machines, as a storage host for Scale-Out File Server, as a DNS server, or as a host for cloud apps running in a container or a VM.

The company is prepared to pay between $500 and $15,000 for vulnerabilities found in the Nano Server installation option of Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 5 and all subsequent releases.
