Config manager windows 2008

This article describes products and operating systems that are removed from support for Configuration Manager clients, or will be removed in a future update deprecated. It provides early notice about future changes that might affect your use of Configuration Manager. This information may change in the future.

It might not include each deprecated feature, product, or operating system. Unless noted otherwise, each supported OS is supported as a Configuration Manager client until the extended support end date of that OS version. For more information about extended support end dates, see the Microsoft Support Lifecycle. If Configuration Manager support for an OS ends before the extended support end date, this article lists a deprecation date and support removal date for that OS.

The following OS versions are deprecated as a Configuration Manager client. ConfigMgr SP 1 installation didn't continue. It took me about 10 minutes to notice that there was a message box underneath other windows : Installation Failed. And it seemed that WAIK 1.

Then I noticed the problem 3: MP is not correctly reinstalled. This was my mistake. I didn't specify the correct WebDAV options. Prereq checker didn't give me any indication that my webdav configuration is incorrect.

It only checks that WebDAV is installed, not if it has the correct options. Therefore we don't support the upgrade scenario you detailed here. For your scenario, you should have installed the SP1 Eval version which can be upgraded to a full licensed version once that's obtained. If you perform an command line upgrade, this will bypass the prereq checking and you will not receive the blocking setup requirement to uninstall it. Regardless, it still hits the issue and throws the dialog albeit behind other windows.

We do recommend that you run the prereq checker prior to performing a unattended upgrade so you know about any configuration issues that will affect setup. You've detailed your entire setup experience with complete accuracy. This information will be benificial to the readers on this forum. Yes, we check for WebDAV but we don't detect the correct settings we do if you push the site role, but not when part of the site server initial install. Too bad prereq checker cannot predict the future, because ConfigMgr RTM prereq checker was happy with my Windows Server installation!

I think I'll reinstall my unsupported ConfigMgr installation, so if I find any other issues while running ConfigMgr on W2k8, they would happen on a supported scenario.

If it was not complete enough for you or others sorry about that. We try, but obviously are not perfect. I agree that the documentation is perfectly clear about which ConfigMgr version is supported with Windows Server Unfortunately, Microsoft's different product groups have different policies how they support OSes if their product requires some service pack to work on this OS. Communication is a difficult thing: no matter how hard you try, there is always some stupid like me, who just don't get it I would never call you stupid Panu - I might think it, but never say it For all you who are now getting upset with me typing that, I've known Panu for years now, and think he knows when I'm joking, especially when I put in the smiley Wally, you just crushed my hopes of being an MVP cause this would definately rule me out When you deploy and manage Configuration Manager with careful planning and consideration of your business requirements, Configuration Manager can reduce your administrative overhead and total cost of ownership.
