Hello
My name is Ivan. I have a ACS SE 4.2.1.15 with Agent Remote of the same version. I would like to integrate with Active Directory 2008 R2 of 32 bits
Is possible to do it?. And is possible to do it with AD 2008 R2 of 64 bits?. What options can i have?
Thanks
Regards.
Ivan.

ACS remote agent can only be installed on 64 bit OS if we have ACS and RA code running 4.2.1.15
Installing RA or having AD running on windows 2008 R2 (as a backend database) is not tested. In most of the secnarios it does't work and cisco has filed a enhancement request on the same.
As of now, windows 2008 R2 is not supported with any version of ACS and remote Agent.
Acs 4.2.x doesn't support all newer versions of Windows 2008. It only supports the below listed version.
Supported Operating Systems section
--Windows Server 2008, Standard Edition
--Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Edition
--Japanese Windows Server 2008, Standard Edition, Service Pack 2
--Japanese Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 2
Link for System requirement and supported version
However, we have few option at this point which may suit your requirement:
1.] You may install RA on 2008 Non-R2
2.] Replace AD with LDAP because we can use win 2008 R2 with LDAP as a protocol.
3.] Go for ACS 5.2 only for cases where we want DC to run on win 2008 R2. We don't need remote agent there.

CSCtg37183 ACS 4.x doesn't support 2008 R2 Server for AD
CSCtg12399 ACS 5.1 did not support 2008 R2 Server for AD.
We have also seen this working in few instances but again it's not tested by Cisco so there may be issues that you may not afford in your production enviornment.
