OCS 2007 compatibility with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64

Hi, we have OCS 2007 installed on our Windows 2003 R2 Standard X64 Production Server and are moving to Windows 2008 R2 X64.
I've been looking at a few support articles out there (e.g. http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/982021) and noticed that they're saying it (is) compatible.
I would appreciate a definite answer from you experts out there on this so I'll know definitely if we can proceed with our upgrade or not.

To be clear, if this is OCS 2007 R2, then yes it will run fine on Server 2008 R2. If it's OCS 2007 (not R2), that would not be supported.

JMS Compatibility with Windows Server 2008

Our product uses the JBoss 4.0.4 as an application server. Currently we are supporting Windows Server 2003 and planning to support Windows Server 2008. We want to know that is JMS fully compatible with Windows Server 2008 (64 bit)?
Please respond if anybody has any idea.
Thanks

JMS services are provided by your container (JBoss) not your operating system.
You should just make sure that your container version is supported on your operating system version.

RH Server 9 compatibility with Windows Server 2008 SP2/SQL Server

Our tech support people are preparing for a first install of RH Server 9. They have asked me to find out whether there is a recent patch that would enable it to work with Windows Server 2008 SP2 64 bit and MS SQL Server 2008.
If there is not yet a patch, will there be one for this OS/DB combination in the future, and when?
This is in reference to the knowledgebase article at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/884/cpsid_88483.html which gives a "not recommended" status to this combination.
Our infrastructure team would prefer to use this combination if it is possible.
Second question from the tech team: Do we need to separate the RoboHelp application from the database or can they both reside on the same server?

To answer your first question, no there is no patch to allow SQL Server 2008 to run on a 64 bit server. To answer your second question, I don't know. This is a user to user forum and therefore we are not party to any discussions on when or if a patch will be released. You could sumbit a feature request which the Adobe RoboHelp Product Manager will get. This will help advance your case. You can submit it here:

Crystal Reports 10 Compatibility with Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello I'm a developer and I'm in the process of migrating my ASP.NET application that uses crystal reports 10 from a win2k3 server to a win2k8 R2 server.
First of all, is CR 10 compatible with windows server 2008 R2?
The application is up and running on the new server, the only thing that fails is the reports. I get the following error message:
Error in file ....c:\windows\temp\{TEMP_FILE_NAME}.rtp
Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine.
This occurs at report.load(..)
I did already grant NETWORK SERVICE access to Temp and ran the CR redistribute msi that came with Visual Studio 2008 - CRRedist2008_x64.msi.
Please help

YESSSS!!!! IT WORKS!!
Finally, after days of installing, uninstalling, setting permissions, crawling through process monitor output.. I finally have it working.
For anyone with the same problem, here's what worked for me:
I had to use the 32-bit runtime
set application pool to 32-bit
grant the following permissions based on the different errors listed below:
Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT
- Give NETWORK SERVICE list permission on C: Drive, run a report, then remove NETWORK SERVICE from the list (weird, but works, and I had to do this every single time I setup Crystal Reports on a new computer so far).
- You might also have to set correct permission on 'Temp' if u get still get this error.
Error in file ....c:\windows\temp.rtp
Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine
- Grant correct permission to C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects (your path may vary)
(For me it was giving Users Modify permission to Business Objects folder)
Unknown Query Engine ErrorError in File C:\Windows\TEMP\.rpt:
Unknown Query Engine Error
- Switch application pool to 32-bit.
- Make sure Crystal Reports Runtime is 32-bit (CRRedist2008_x86.msi)
Thank you guys so much for all your help and sticking through this with me.

Installing Exchange 2007 on a Windows Server 2008

Hello I am new to the Microsoft forum and I have a quick question and please let me know if im posting my question in the wrong place. Im doing a school project were you have two servers with Windows Server 2008 installed on them. The first server suppose
to have Active directory and domain services followed by dns which I did. The second server which I just found out suppose to have installed Netframework 3.0, Wpa and Desktop experience roles then install Microsoft Exchange 2007. Well my issue is when I try
to install exchange on my second server it keeps giving me a error message saying my Active directory cannot be contacted or may not exist and that my second server has the wrong security credentials. I've taken the steps that Microsoft has advise by checking
my domain. Which I used the command Dcdiag.exe on my first server and it saids the domain is able to be contacted. Also when I joined my second domain I made sure to put the domain name of the first server in all caps followed by /Administrator and my password
and it said welcome to the domain. So has anybody run into that type of error message when trying to install exchange 2007 on a separate server? Lastly forget to include I also have web server IIS installed on the second server as well. Exchange is then asking
for IIS 7.0 ? So any tips or troubleshooting would be helpful since my professor wasn't much a help and I gotta turn this lab stuff in by next week.
thanks gmoney38

Not sure I need to check that through the dns is working far as ive seen in the server manager . Because I remember before I did this one command for the dns and it said something was wrong with the host A record. So I went through the hierarchy of
windows to that file and opened it up through the notepad it showed my loopback ip address 127.0.0.1 and localhost and not my domain name which I choose contoso01.com so from a previous forum I read if you change the localhost name to that domain name
that it would help but im not sure if this would in my case. Thanks for answering my question Mr. Ed but I still need some more help through!
gmoney38 ps plus im using vmware for this project to have the two servers i wonder if this is why im having issues!

SAP Mobile Platform 3 compatibility with windows server 2012

Dear All,
As per SAP release notes Window Server 2012 is compatible with SMP 3.0 but after installation i see that the SMP3 Services are always into the hung state meaning they neither start nor stop. They are always in the starting state. Whereas it runs fine with Windows Server 2008 R2. When we force kill all the process running with SMP3 Service we can stop it but it doesn't start at all.
Has anyone faced this issue till now.
Thanks

Hi Rakshit,
I guess Eric Solberg, Mustafa Saglam can answer better.

How to enable high availability on SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2

Dear Folks,
I would like to ask you about this thing. I'm working for IT department for bank in Myanmar. Our bank have up to 96 branches across all of Myanmar including H.O. We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 for our banking
information system. My main problem is having to backup and restore the database backup files every time the servers in branches goes down for whatever reasons. I want to deploy this feature of high availability and failover cluster using Windows Server 2008
and SQL Server 2005. Our branches have 2 Servers. One is for Primary and other is for Backup. What I want to do is that, I want to change Backup Server to Primary Server whenever the Primary Server goes down for whatever reasons. All the working data and databases
from Primary will immediately replicated into Backup Server along with all the IP information of Primary Server. Please give me step by step guide for this process.

Try below
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cindygross/archive/2009/10/23/checklist-for-installing-sql-server-2005-as-a-clustered-instance.aspx
I will recommend you to upgrade SQL server to newer version for support as well as flexibility.

Installing Flash Player 12 on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 with IE 8

I have an app that runs on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 that requires Flash Player 12. When I try to install Flash Player 12 it says that Windows Server R2 X64 is not supported by way of eliminating it from the list of supported operating systems. When I do a search I can find many people who indicate they have it running or explain "hacks" to get it running. Since the app requires it there is an implimcation that it should be running on this OS. What is the offical word on this? This is a production server and I really don't want an "unsupported hack" running in this environment. Is there a supported means of having Flash Player 12 run on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 with IE8 even if it is within the 32 bit version of the browser?

Server 2008 (x86) is supported, and I had an x64 machine set up last month that had FP12 installed and running in IE and Firefox. 64 bit IE wouldn't run it for some reason, but the 32 bit did. It installed in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash, but I was unable to get the ActiveX plug-in to enable outside of 32 bit IE.
I also set up a Server 2012 machine that DID support the x64 ActiveX, but that's probably not an option for you.
Like you, I'd be leery of "hacks" to get it to run as an x64 pkug-in, as it may have unintended and undesired consequences in other areas.

Hotfix Compatibility: KB2522807 - Windows Server 2008 SP2

Can someone explain why this
Hotfix is not compatible with Windows Server 2008 SP2 when it states this is one of the OS prerequisites? There only seems to be a download for Windows Vista, 7 and 2008 R2 but not 2008 Standard.
I am seeing this exact issue on 2008 SP2 so would be nice to have the fix for it.
Thanks.

Hello,
according to
http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2522807&kbln=en-us this hotfix is for Windows Server 2008
R2 SP1

Oracle 8i compatible with Windows Server 2008?

Does anyone know whether Oracle 8i can be run on Windows Server 2008? My organization has only a license for Oracle 8i and we're buying new servers coming with Windows Server 2008.
Thank you, Chaiyong

There is no such thing as a licence for "Oracle 8i" there is only a licence for Oracle. Do you mean that you're out of support ?
In any event 8i is desupported.
Best bet is to install P2V a VMware Windows 2000 and leave it at that.

Restore bkf Backup Files on Tape with Windows Server 2008 R2

We have to migrate an application from a legacy server (OS Windows Server 2003) to a new server (OS Windows Server 2008 R2).
Due to legal obligations we have to keep backups for 10 years. Until now NTBACKUP was used to store the data on tape.
We must be able to restore data from tapes of the last 10 years for audit purposes.
We installed Update für Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition (KB974674) containing NTBackup-RestoreUtility on the new server.
It seems that this tool is not able to restore from tapes.
How can we fullfil the legal requirements to restore backuped data from tape on Windows Server 8 R2 (and in future with Windows Server 2012 R2)?
