This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hi All,

 

I wanted to know the compatibility of EV9 with Terminal Servers running Windows Server 2008 32x SP1 running Outlook 2007.

Connecting to Windows Server 2008 64x and Exchange 2010.

 

Thanks

The Compatibility List

The Compatibility List (pinned to the top of the forum) is also your friend.

 

In general I'd say that it's not officially certified, but should work.  However, if you encounter problems you may need additional resources and time for yourselves to help reproduce the issue(s) outside of the Terminal Server environment.  Finally, steer clear of 32 bit Windows 2008, as that is definitely not listed in the Compatibility List.

Thanks Rob, So to be clear I

Thanks Rob,

So to be clear I am not talking about the EV server running on of 32 bit Windows 2008 SP1. I am talking about the Exchange Archiving Clients running on  32 bit Windows 2008 SP1 (Via Citrix).

Page 44 of the compatibility_charts.pdf http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH38537 states that Windows Server 2008 SP is not compatible with any of the EV versions 2007 - 10.0.

Do you know of any specific compatibility problems on 32 Win 08? Or is just not supported? Are there any plans to make 10.0 or next release compatible with 32 Win 08?

Well, that ground is a bit

Well, that ground is a bit more shakey.  Whether supported or not would come down to the specific problem, and even with Citrix running on W2K8 x64, it might be a case of having to reproduce the problem outside of a Citrix environment in order to progress an issue.

 

Just throwing up ideas really, since our Citrix coverage is not 'complete' as it were.  We don't test it in the same way or as thoroughly as we do the 'regular' clients.

 

I personally don't know of any specific compatibility problems, but it is something that has not been tested in house.  There are no plans to extend ...  all I hear/read is that Windows 8 Server will only available in 64 bit (certainly the Developer Preview is 64 bit only -- of the server version)

Oh, and have a look in the Articles section on these forums, I've written articles on how to configure things in a terminal server environment.

Noticed it yeah.. but..  I think it upsets the RSS readers, and besides, I'm a rebel.
