  • 1.  Support for Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

    Hi all.

     

    I've seen a similar forum entry to this, but for SEP, not for SEP SBE.

     

    I can't see any support for Win 8.1 or Server 2012 R2 in SEP SBE v12.1 RU2.

    All other forum posts points to SEP v12.1 RU4, but shows no information on SEP SBE v12.1

     

    Can anybody shed some light on this?

     

    Kind regards.
