I'm looking through the OS compatibility list found in TECH76648 and I'm not seeing Win 2012 R2 as an option for a 7.6.0.1 Master/Media Server, just client backups. For some reason I have it stuck in my head this was/is a supported configuration. If this is not a currently supported Master/Media Server configuration have they made any announcement of when it will be supported? I'm trying to plan a master server migration to new hardware and really would prefer to have the latest and greatest OS so I don't have to revisit this sooner. :)
Thanks!

R2 is not shown as an option yet, only 2012 - yet it is listed as supported for clients
This implies that R2 is yet to be supported for 7.6
I am sure i checked this out for someone previously and R2 was not yet supported as a Master Server.
#EDIT#
Just checked some partner docs and it is not due for 7.6.0,.2 either - set as "future" for Media Sever - so dont hold your breath just yet!

Do we even know if this master/media server support is on the road map for 7.6.0.2?

Just edited my post above - it is on the road map but not for 7.6.0.2 - sorry!

When looking at the Sort tool for 7.6.0.1, only 2012 is listed as an option:
OS | CPU Architecture | OS Bits | NetBackup Master Server | NetBackup Media Server | NetBackup Bits | BMR Server | NBAC | OpsCenter Server | OpsCenter Managed Server | NDMP | Minimum NetBackup 7.X Level |
Windows Server 2012 | x86-64 | 64 | Y | Y | 64 | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | 7.6 |

Thanks SymTerry. I'm a little disappointed to have to sit on this longer but I appreciate the info.
