There is no list of what isn't working on Win2008.
A "small" list:
* when running as service using the system account with desktop
interaction you will NOT get the system tray icon (as you would on XP/2003)
* at startup the OS complains about the svcit.ocx file
* OS not recgonized correctly in the ABOUT box (very important issue
:-))
W2008(R2) will be supported as OS with the next major release...
Current beta (http://beta.woodstone.nu) is supported on Win2008(R2)/7

Dirk,
I didn't have a choice of what OS I wanted to use for this latest Servers Alive
installation as this is controlled by company policy and Windows 2008 Server is
now the preferred Server OS.
I have found the dialogue after you have pointed out that it pops up behind
other dialogues, and have been able to change the required configurations, I can
live with this as long as it works.
Is there a list of known issues with Windows 2008 Server that I can take a look
at to see if any of these are likely to cause me any issues? I have checked your
website but can't see anything obvious. Has there been a discussion thread that
I have missed? Will Windows 2008 Server be supported in future?
Regards,
Andy

We don't support v6.1/v6.2 on Win2008 if that's fine for you then you can stay
on that version.
About the fileproperties issue, that's a known thing caused by the OS too. For
some reason the GUI is in fact visible but hidden behind the Servers Alive
screen. With the latest add-on version we force it to be infront of SA :-)

Dirk,
The comfileproperties.dll reports a version of 2.0.0.49, this is the same
version that was working on the older installation, as I have all these
installation version from when the old system was implemented.
I have not previously updated the version of Servers Alive as on the old (dead)
Windows XP Pro SP3 installation was working fine.
Should I really be upgrading to the latest version of Servers Alive now that I
have had to move onto the Windows 2008 Server platform?
Regards,
Andy

Servers Alive v6.1 (and v6.2) are NOT supported on Windows 2008.
What version of the COM check are you using?

Servers Alive Discussion List,
I have had to move my Servers Alive implementation from a Windows XP Pro SP3
workstation to a Windows 2008 Server SP1 (32 bit) platform due to the failure of
the hardware on the workstation.
I was able to recover my hostfile and the registry and group settings from the
old system and implement these on the new system after a standard install, and
all appears to working OK.
I have however spotted an issue with an External COM check, where I am not able
to Configure the external check parameters.
A number of my checks use the External COM check "FileProperties Check" and it
seems that I am unable to use the Configure option at the moment.
Does anyone have any clues why this is not working under Windows 2008 Server SP1
when it worked fine under Windows XP Pro SP3.
Servers Alive Enterprise Version 6.1.2004
Windows 2008 Server SP1 (32 bit)
Regards,
Andy
