This is a bit old (but interesting) thread that I will try to revive. Juan (or anyone out there who has attempt to install on 2008 R2), how did you installation go?
I am contemplating installing ARS on 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 for the DB. Are the pre configured stack installer exclusively for 2008 R2? Or also for 2003/2008 64-bit Thanks all Marcelo -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Juan Ingles Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 5:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ARS 7.6.03 Licensing on Windows Server 2008 R2 and the general contractor doesn't notice the extra pipes sticking out of the wall for two years. ;) Juan On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 2:34 PM, strauss <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, that's exactly it; it's always fun when Mickey changes the plumbing... > > Christopher Strauss, Ph.D. > Call Tracking Administration Manager > University of North Texas Computing & IT Center > http://itsm.unt.edu/ > > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Juan Ingles > Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 4:31 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: ARS 7.6.03 Licensing on Windows Server 2008 R2 > > Chris, > I ran across something that I dismissed as "silly" that I think might > be related.... > > I am setting up a new 2008 VM to try out the new 7.6.3 stack > installer.
