FMSA 8 & Windows 2003 Server R2

[mts99]

Hi Folks,

This is an information request and also maybe a topic to build on.

Has anyone heard about any problems or issues with FMSA8 with Server 2003 R2.

I have purchased SA and am using it on a developing machine. We are to go live soon but are building up a server to run it on.

I am in the process of purchasing the Server OS and am finding that R2 is pretty much all you can buy.

I have contacted Filemaker and they have not replied. Has anyone heard anything/read anything or knows if there are issues???

My immediate recommendation is to try to run it with SP 1 and not SP 2. Windows Server 2003 SP 1 is the certified OS. SP 2 is too new, and we are just begininng to hear reports on it.

When is it that you expect to deploy?

Hi Steven,

We are looking to deploy in around 2 weeks.

I have installed SP2 on a test machine and it seems ok but you can never tell until you test everything which takes time.

With some [color:red]sample, test files of a good size, but not production files you might test the SAT Tool rigorously including opening and closing files, starting and stopping the services, connecting and reconnection with the SAT Tool, and the various options in the security panel.
