Server 08

[Guest ERMAC]

Are you guys fully supporting Server 2008 yet? If not, does it look like you will be in the not too distant future?

[adamnp]

Good question

 

I know they weren't in the beta program. Might be by now though

Windows Server 2008 is still not supported by TCAdmin. There a few bugs that need to worked out before. One note of progress, the tcadmin installer now functions properly in Windows Server 2008 when installing the web server.

[adamnp]

thanks for the update...

 

Can you guys make note to announce when luis feels confident enough to support 08?

we have no problems with Server 2008@64 BIT..........So use it if u want

Windows Server 2008 works fine with TCadmin. Before you install it, make sure you got the following features installed, if you are running it as master server and web admin:

 

1- IIS (Obviously)

2- Full IIS 6 compatibility (Metabase compatibility, WMI compatibility, all of it, except maybe FTP control or it will interfere with tcadmin)

3- ASP.NET

4- CGI (Not 100% sure about that)

 

Once that's installed, I found that the TCadmin setup works fine.

 

NOTE: For 2008 x64, make sure you change the settings of the 2008 application pool to accept 32 bit applications

I will also confirm no problems whatsoever on Windows server 2008 64 bit. Enterprise,Standard editions i have tested. Both work flawlessly, even with older games like bfv - unreal tournament

As far as I am aware, the only issue is you cannot see the services running on the desktop..

Someone had mentioned that America's Army does not work with Windows Server 2008.

Someone had mentioned that America's Army does not work with Windows Server 2008.

 

I can confirm that America's Army is running smoothly on Windows 2008 Enterprise 32-Bit. So no issues there for me.

 

The only real issue I had with setting it up in Windows 2008 was with the install and IIS, having to setup the website manually, but for anyone with some minimal Windows support experience it isn't too hard.

When we ran AA on the 2008 x64 box it would stop the service randomly. The exact same files on 2003 x64 works great. No other games at this time have had any problems.

You will not have the interact with desktop available for x64 either, I don't know about x86 version.

[Jaggl]

we run AAO and Win2008 Server x64 with no Problems at all.....

Hi! I just got an dedicated server running windows web server 2008. Cannot get America's Army running. You mentioned creating a website. How do I do this?

[Todd Holley]

The manual website creation was for the TCA install...... nothing to do with getting an AA server up.

 

Best choice that should work for you is to do a OS reinstall down to 03 if possible.
