I'd need to do some digging to verify this but I don't immediately buy it 
really. This stuff happens at a much lower level. "Application Server" is a 
role which maps back to IIS really so I don't think that reply remotely has 
anything to do with this. 



Thanks,

Subject: re: Does Windows 2008 R2 Server Core support running applications in 
Compatibility Mode?

If any one is interested: 

I opened a case for this with MS, to get an official answer. Here is their 
reply:
***************************************************************
Issue Definition:

Does W2k8 R2 Server Core support running applications in Compatibility mode?

Answer:

Application server is not one of the intended/supported roles. Here is a list 
of roles that windows 2008 R2 core supports. 
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-compare-core-installation.aspx

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact 
me.

I'm a little disappointed in this. So it's inferred that it's not a supported 
feature since Application server is not a supported "role"?
