Windows Storage Server 2012 R2

Will DP run on Windows® Storage Server 2012 R2? I didn't see is listed as a compatible OS, but figured I'd ask anyway since WSS is only available from OEM's.

 

I have a customer that might be interested.

 

Thanks

Dan

Yes. it should run on the OS just fine.

Thanks Chris,  

 

Haven't been here in while.   I haven't had any issues, I'm still humming along with WHS2011 with DP and Scanner.

Glad to hear it. 

 

And for a more "verbose" answer here: 

 

Windows Storage Server 2012R2 uses the same kernel and code as the full on Server 2012R2.  And if this is Storage Server Essentials, then it uses the "WSS" (Windows Server Solutions) code (aka, the WHS style features).  And that work the same (in fact, you'd want to use the WHS2011 Scanner installer for this version).
