BESR2010 Management Solution support Windows 2008 OS

We are planning to deploy BESR 2010 magagement software on windows 2008 x64 bit operating system. However; its faild to start installation due to not compatible with mentioned operating system. Please anyone tell the windows 2008 x64bit support on BESR 2010 application.

  • Have a look:

  • The management solution (BESR-MS) is currently only supported on Windows 2003 32bit. Support for 2008/64bit will be available early next year.

    The BESR client software itself is supported with 2008 at this time.

    Please refer to the SCL for more information:

  • As the initial question was presented, not what is supported but how do you incorporate BESR 2010 in a 2008 64 environment. to simply pass on the spec's is not an answer. 

     

    I have the same question, we do not have any 2003 servers anymore in our environment. 8.5 has been pulled from the download, therefore the real question to be answered is, what are we suppose to do.

     

    Buy a 2003 server?  Not.

     

    Anyone have a plausible answer?

  • The answer is simple:In case you can't or won't install W2K3, you can't use BESR 2010 MS.

  • The answer is still the same:

    You can use BESR 2010 with Windows 2008. You cannot install BESR-MS on Windows 2008 - you can only install this on Windows 2003.

    Support for Windows 2008 for BESR-MS is coming in the next release of BESR (next year).
