Windows server 2008 R2 support

i've read the FAQ regarding windows 2003 R2 support which asks us to verify with PAM on the products which is supported. But I cant seem to find R2 being supported yet on the common sap application like ecc 6.0 and nw 7.0, which product is actually supported on r2 as of today ?

Also there is no differences from a Kernel perspective as this update is simply a service pack update and that's the way MSFT and SAP are looking at it. I have a SolMan PRD box running on MSFT 2008 R2 technologies for both the OS and DB. .
I'm sorry but I have to disagree. The kernel is different - that's what's written in the note (it is not the same as with Windows 2003 and Windows 2003 R2):
Windows 2008 - Kernel 6.0 (same as Vista)
Windows 2008 R2 - Kernel 6.1 (same as Windows 7)
From a security perspective there are changes as well as certain kernel level functions.
That your solution manager works is due to the fact, that the kernel itself had support for the R2 release added with a certain kernel patchlevel, if you check in SM51 you see "Windows 6.1" - in older versions of the kernel, most likely patch 76 and below, this is not the case and hence the system will dump with SICK after being started.
There are also changes in encryption mechanisms (comes into place when using SSO and Java applications using that functionality). Additionally there are differences with cluster setups and other small things.
I'd be careful when deploying an operating system that may technically work on the first look, there are culprits and SAP may reject support because they don't (yet) officially support it.

Running oracle database xe (express edition) on windows server 2008 r2

Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?
Database XE is only supported as 32-bit. Current builds of Windows Server 2008 only come in x64 configurations.
Here are the Database XE system requirements for windows:
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm]
The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).
See:
- [Wikipedia page about windows server 2008 with info on R2|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2008#Windows_Server_2008_R2]
- [Wikipedia page on "windows 32-bit on windows 64-bit"|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64]
Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,
Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?No.
The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.So this means that only 32bit versions of 2008 will be supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).Which is probably why 2008 R2 is not supported.
You can either take the VM approach and install a 32 bit Windows or 64 bit Linux host, or you can queue in the list of persons waiting for a 64 bit Windows release. See the following thread for details (and the queue) for the latter: {thread:id=2277728}

Hi Zeeshan,
I have found a hotfix against the same error messages, though it applies to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, I am not sure if it will work on your machine.
Please refer to this KB article below:

Installation of Solution Manager 7.00 EHP1 on Windows Server 2008

Dear Experts,
We are installing Solution Manager 7.00 EHP1 on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition 6.1 on a 64 bit platform. When running the pre-requisite checker it shows that the OS build 6.1 is not supported. Does anyone know which version of OS WIN 2008 server is supported or whether the Solution Manager can be installed on Build 6.1. Kindly suggest.

Offline data synchronization in azure mobile services on windows server 2008

Hi,
I have a class library which insert data into tables in azure mobile services on windows server 2008 OS for windows universal C# platform. I am trying to insert data using offline data synchronization.
I had installed SQLite runtime for windows 8.1 and windows phone 8.1, but unable to add reference 'SQLite for Windows Runtime(Windows8.1)'.
Please guide me whether windows server 2008 OS supports offline data synchronization in azure mobile services.
Thank you.

I also have a Windows Server 2012 R2 system using Azure Backup, and I don't have the problem. However, you probably noticed that you use a different Azure Backup installation download for Windows Server 2008 R2 vs. Windows Server 2012 R2. Although both
show the same Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent version 2.0.8692.0 installed, my Windows Server 2012 R2 also lists Microsoft Azure Backup for Windows Server Essentials version 6.2.9805.9 installed as well. It could be the case the my problem with the
CATALOG FAILURE 0x80131500 errors is something specific to the version of Azure Backup installed on my Windows 2008 R2 servers.

WMI port range Issues windows server 2008 R2

I've been encountering issues with the communication to some of my distributions points worldwide. The server is live but is unable to receive any packages.
I troubleshooted the issue with our network group and it seems that the servers are trying to send the data through the 1027 port
Now for the kicker: These are all 2008 R2 servers and port 1027 is part of the WMI range for server 2003. The port range for 2008 starts at 49152.
the issue in itself is easy enough to fix as you can see below:
netsh int ipv4 show dynamic tcp (this give you the current range)
netsh int ipv4 set dynamic tcp start=49152 num=**** (this allows you to set the beginning of the range to what you want and the # of ports available)
this requires a reboot to be effective.
My question is, why is the default port range changing without an input from anyone?

Hi Carl,
As you point out, in Windows Server 2008 and later versions, and in Windows Vista and later versions, the default dynamic port range changed to the following range:
Start port: 49152
End port: 65535
After my research, I found a relevant KB we can reference:
The default dynamic port range for TCP/IP has changed in Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008

CF7 on Windows Server 2008

Hello, does anyone know if you can install ColdFusion MX7 on
a Windows Server 2008 64-bit Operating System?
Thanks.
Tim

Well, you have 3 questions here: support for 64 bit, support
for Windows Server 2008, and support for CF7. Let's take them one
at a time.
As for 64-bit, there's an important difference between being
able to run on a 64-bit OS and being able to run in 32-bit or
64-bit mode on that 64-bit OS.
That said, only CF8 supports running in 64-bit mode. Further,
in 8.0 it was only on Solaris, then 8.01 added Windows (including
Server 2008 among others), Linux, and Mac.
64-bit mode is also supported only in CF8 Enterprise
specifically (not Standard).
So you can run CF 8 Standard on a supported 64-bit OS, but
only in 32-bit mode.
More on 64-bit support at the CF8.01 update FAQs:
"Does ColdFusion have 64-bit support?"
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403277&sliceId=1#_Toc193176415
and
"Does ColdFusion Standard have 64-bit support?"
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403277&sliceId=1#_Toc193176416
But you said you want to run CF7. Of course, that's not going
to allow you to run in 64-bit mode, as discussed above. But you can
at least install it on a 64-bit machine as long as it's a supported
OS, running CF in in 32-bit mode. More on that at
http://www.adobe.com/go/8be22ed6.
Sadly, for you, Windows Server 2008 is NOT listed as a supported OS
For CF7. More at
http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/coldfusion7/systemreqs/.
To sumarize, you will need to move up to CF8 to get Win2k8 as
a supported OS, then to 8.01 to get 64-bit support, and then only
in CF8 Enterprise.

Does XI 3.1 SP2 support Windows Server 2008 Release 2?

In the supported platforms guide for Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 it lists support for Windows Server 2008 but I'm curious if it will support 2008 Release 2???

2012 R2 is not mentioned (that article is over two years old),
Would be kinda hard to mention a non-existent operating system in a 2 year old blog post, eh?
Maybe the Blog entry could be updated?
There's no need to update the blog post once you understand the specifics of the update. The update introduces NEW functionality required for ALL operating systems from Windows 8 forward.
Also, maybe you shouldn't be so literal in your search efforts? :-) Think outside the box a bit, eh? Understand *why* the update was created. What does the update do that makes WSUS v3 work for Win8/WS2012. Is there some reason that wouldn't work for subsequent
operating systems? You didn't have the update anyway, did it never cross your mind.. "Hey.. maybe I should do this... anyway?"
Nevermind the hundreds of conversations in this forum about KB2734608 and the dozens of times Win8.1 or WS2012R2 is mentioned in those conversations.

Support for JDeveloper 10.1.3 on Windows Server 2008 64 bit OS

Hello,
We are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0 (patch # 9879989) for R12.
Would like to know support for Jdeveloper on windows server 2008 - 64 bit.
Thanks,
Swati.

Hi Swati,
Currently I am using Jdeveloper Patch#9172975 for R12.1.2 on windows server 2008 X64 and it works fine.
As Jdeveloper Patch#9172975 is lower version then Jdeveloper Patch#9879989, Patch#9879989 should work on Windows Server 2008 64bit.
Still I am not confirm about Jdeveloper Patch#9879989 on Windows Server 2008 64bit.
Thanks,
Laukik

Librfc32 support on Windows server 2008

Hi,
We at Trango Software (division of Siemens Enterprise Networks) are currently using the SAP Remote Function Call runtime as a part of our product (librfc32.dll, File Version 6403.3.55.4580). We will be supporting Windows Server 2008 platform from our product's next release. We are assessing compatibility on Windows Server 2008 platform of all the third-party libraries and tools that are part of our product.
We would like to know if the SAP remote function call runtime dll (librfc32.dll) is currently supported with Windows Server 2008. If not, we would like to know when (tentatively) it is expected to be supported.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello,
have you configured the accounts to have the permission "Log on as a service"? I have seen that this is not given to the account and therefore the service fails to start.

Crystal Reports Supported on Windows Server 2008?

Right now, we have it running on Server 2000, but server is being replaced. Would like to go with Windows Server 2008, but, making sure application compatibility first. I have searched the internets, have even called, and cannot get a straight answer.
What Windows OS does Crystal Reports support? And by support, I mean "work without glitches".

Well, there's both gated and ungated content, but Crystal Reports, Crystal Reports Server and Crystal Xcelsius should all have ungated equivalents.
It's just that not everyone on this side of the web browser has got the message.
I do regret this.
The CR2008SP1 supported platforms (ungated) is found here:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0d494c2-696b-2b10-e8b5-e7083c7be019]
Windows 2003 is supported, and Windows 2008 is supported starting with SP1.
Sincerely,

Adobe Air 3.6 - Support for Windows Server 2008 R2?

Hello all,
Adobe lists "Windows Server 2008" in the list of supported operating systems.
We tested our application on a Win 2008 R2 terminal server and could'nt find any issues so far. Is there a reason why Adobe does not list "Windows Server 2008 R2" (64 Bit) in the supported platforms list?
Thanks in advance!
