Windows 10: Windows Server 2019 - Windows Subsystem for Linux

Hello,I currently work in a lab setting with a 64 core desktop that runs Windows Server 2019 for physical simulations. There are a few people who use the server, so we are interested in trying to find a job scheduler/workload manager that has similar capabilities to that of Slurm on Linux. Are there any software packages with similar capabilities that are compatible with Windows Server 2019? Or, alternatively, can Windows Subsystem for Linux be used to run Slurm?Many thanks,Casey

:)
