Hello,
I'm trying to install BE on Windows 2012. Everything looks good except I typically use the Symantec drivers for the tape drives as Symantec used to be very adamant that you had to use them in the past.
If you use tapeinst or the wizard you'll get the following after it finds the device and attempts to install the driver from BE 2010 R3 (all patches)
"the third-party inf does not contain digital signature" installation did not complete.
Please don't sidetrack this and talk about BE 2012- I spent weeks troubleshooting it even with Symantec on the line and it just doesn't work well and yes we were using the latest revision with all the patches. Symantec recommended going to BE2010 so even if you are having luck with it - it isn't an option.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
BE 2010 and BE 2012 currently do not support Windows Server 2012...this will be supported in BE 2012 R2 and an update to BE 2010...check below:

As such, you are running an unsupported configuration.
Thanks!

...you are unsupported and will get no support from Symantec even if you get it to work until BE 2012/BE 2010 officially support it...
