From: ed on 5 Apr 2010 10:04 Hi all, If any aplications can support windows 2008 x64 bit, can you safely say that applications can support Windows 2008 R2 x64 bit too? Windows 2008 R2 just add some additional features than windows 2008, right? Thank you.

Yes, I would say the same, unless of course the app by some reomte chance is directory enabled and uses a Schema attribute in 2008 that may have been updated or changed in R2. However, I think that is highly unlikely. -- Ace This posting is provided "AS-IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

From: Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS] on 5 Apr 2010 14:08 Hello ed, I disagree with Ace here, what normally isn't the case. :-) Safely can only the application vendor give you that answer. For example i know that some Antivirus software is not ready for Windows server 2008 R2 but runs on Windows server 2008.

NO, you can not make that assumption. I've had a couple apps that would run under Win 2008 x64 non-R2 that fail to run properly under x64 R2. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

I know of two that don't... at least right now. One the vendor specifically doesn't support R2 yet but does RTM. The second isn't a vendor support issue but is having functional problems on R2 and resolution hasn't been determined yet. So, "any", I'd say right now is not a safe assumption. > >> Hi all, >> >> If any aplications can support windows 2008 x64 bit, can you safely >> say that >> applications can support Windows 2008 R2 x64 bit too? >> Windows 2008 R2 just add some additional features than windows 2008, >> right? >> Thank you. -- /kj |
