Hi

I would like to advice against this move.

Two things you should consider :

* Windows 2008 is still not fully supported by EMC Networker and version 7.6 
will not until the next 6 months I think.
* Some networker utilities still not work under Windows 64 bits like dasadmin

So this kind of move is at least risky for no clear advantage that I can see 
because you can always install the management console on a Windows computer and 
manage your networker server from there. You can even use the 7.6 management 
console to manage an older version.

Kind regards
