I know you can run the SCCM 2007 SP2 client and the latest SEP client on Core. I would be a bit surprised if some of those other 3rd-party clients support Core, though.
Additionally, I’d ask what you are trying to accomplish by running all your DCs on Core. I’m not sure the small reduction in attack surface or in patch requirements is worth the support issues and reduced functionality in many cases. -Malcolm From: Christopher Bodnar [mailto:christopher_bod...@glic.com] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 07:34 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Server Core I've been reading this thread pretty closely since we will be brining up a 2008 test domain very shortly. My thoughts were to do Core for all the DCs. My concern now is all the client/Agent software that the current DCs require. For example: Adiscon client Asset Insight client Blue Coat proxy agent Big brother agent SCCM/SMS client SAV/SEP Antivirus client TSM client Will any of these run on Core? Love to hear from someone who has gone through this.
