    Hello

    I wanted to know if Altiris supports Server Core 2008 ?

    Altiris vs. Unattend?
    Altiris vs. ekstra applications installation like Antivirus?
    Altiris Agent in the running Core ?

    Or how does it work?

    Regards Kenneth

    The Altiris Agent (Notification Server) will not be supported in NS6 or NS7 (at least initially) due to an IE requirement.

    Im not sure I explained my self correctly then.

    What I meant was, the Deployment Solution.

    Can Altiris DS deploy Server Core 2008 via unattend (properbly XML)?
    Can Altiris DS deploy/run jobs on top of a Server Core 2008 - ex. install a supportet antivirus program?
    Can the Altiris DAgent run on Server Core 2008?

    There is no NS involved.

    Regards Kenneth

    I'm sure it will run in Win2008. I have not tried it myself though and currently do not have plans to move to Win2008 as of now.

    I have 2 servers running Win2008 64-bit servers with DS 6.9 SP1 MP1. Haven't seen any problems. Not sure that's what you're asking tho.

    No no, I want to install a Server CORE 2008 - Not a regular Server 2008.
    And I want to be able to run additional jobs/tasks on top of this newly installed Core 2008 - Which brings me to the below questions again?

    Can Altiris DS deploy Server Core 2008 via unattend (properbly XML)?
    Can Altiris DS deploy/run jobs on top of a Server Core 2008 - ex. install a supportet antivirus program?
    Can the Altiris DAgent run on Server Core 2008

    You've already got the answer that it is for the moment not supported however; it might work!

    Why don't you try your specified "requirements" and see if it works for you?

    Schieb and everyone already answered it, but as far as I know - no, you cannot manage a 2008 core server with Aclient or Dagent.

    Neither function in the environment that 2008 core offers, since they essentially want a gui.
