Supported Operating Systems

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

OfficeStatus Server supports the following list of Windows operating systems:

 

Windows Server 2008 (any edition) - see configuration note below
Windows Server 2003 SP2 or later (any edition)
Windows Server 2000 SP4 or later (any edition)

 

Note that both 64 and 32 bit operating system environments are supported. The only added consideration is that for 64-bit environments, the OfficeStatus Server and Client installation packages cannot automatically install the .NET Framework (the 64-bit version of the .NET Framework can be downloaded directly from Microsoft).

 

When installing or configuring one of these supported operating systems for use with OfficeStatus, please be sure to install the optional Internet Information Services (IIS) web server components as well.

 

Important Windows Server 2008 Installation Notes

 

OfficeStatus Server can be installed on Windows Server 2008 when Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 is configured correctly.

 

To install OfficeStatus Server on Windows Server 2008, IIS 7 must have the IIS 6 Management Compatibility role installed. It must also have ASP.NET support installed.

 

Install ASP.NET and the IIS 6 Management Compatibility Role

 

 1. Open the Windows Server 2008 Server Manager.

 2. In the server management tree, click Roles.

 3. If IIS 7 has not yet been installed on this server, select Add Roles and add the Web Server (IIS) role before proceeding.

 4. Select Add Role Services.

 5. Select ASP.NET and accept any feature dependency notices that appear.

 6. Select Management Tools and IIS 6 Management Compatibility and accept any feature dependency notices that appear.

 7. Complete the Add Role Services wizard.

 

Once these configuration steps are complete, OfficeStatus Server should install properly on Windows Server 2008.
