I need help to clarify if Cisco ACS 4.2 does support remote agent on Win server 2008 core enterprise 64-bit?? if not supported; is there any work-around solution for this?

hi,

the information is from the latest release notes for ASC 4.2.1. i am not able to find anything specific to core ent 2008. Even development will tell us that since it is not tested and supported it is not included in the release notes list of supported platforms.

thanks,

Vinay

So it's not supported.

As a work around solution; can I install the agent on a separate 2008 server standard and join this server to the domain. in this scenario the agent server can communicate between the ACS and the core 2008 Active directory server? do you have an idea?

thanks anyway.
