Will FM15 Server work on Server 2008 Standard

[genious]

I have a job that I will need Filemaker to do, At the moment I would have to load it onto our old 2008 standard server till we get a new machine in the new year.  For now this project will not be very intensive about 5/6 users at most. Would it work?

As long as it is 2008 R2 SP1, it will.

When I try to install it on 2008 standard SP2 I get a message that Filemaker server will not install or uninstall on this version of windows. This is very strange.

It has to be explicitly Windows 2008 R2 and then SP1 of that.  SP2 only existed for the non-R2 version of 2008 and it sounds like you have that one.  Which does not work.
