Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows 2008 Client

Like me, probably find out that something is implemented, and you need an agent to do an online backup, or discover (like you have) that Win2k8 isnt supported on the current platform!

Backups seem to be the last thing people think about when implementing new solutions :(

There’s no harm in testing, thanks. I bet the server team will check with me first next time. Yeah, right!

I doubt it. The OS Compatibility Matrix says that for Windows 2008, the minimum client is 6.5.2... Now, you MIGHT be able to use 6.5.1, but I doubt it. I'm pretty sure that there will be code changes introduced with the 6.5.2 client that allows it to work under Windows 2008. If you have a dev-box around somewhere though that's Windows 2008 you can try the 6.5.1 client there to see if it works.

<Windows shop, Windows servers and clients.>

I’m at 6.0 and was really hoping to upgrade to 6.5.1 next week and not very anxious to go to 6.5.2 just yet from what I’m reading. The server team decided to start rolling out 2008 Server servers without checking for compatibility so now I have clients I can’t backup. Is there any other way besides upgrading to .2 to resolve this?

Thanks,

Randy
