Operations Manager 2007 SP1 and R2 now officially support Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7

Hi All,

Support is now available for running Operations Manager 2007 SP1 and Operations Manager 2007 R2 on the following operating systems:

·         Windows Server 2008 R2

·         Windows 7

The official support statement is posted here under Knowledge Base article 974722. The supported configuration guides for R2 and SP1 will be updated shortly as well.  The following table lists the Operations Manager roles and components that are supported on these operating systems.

The updated Windows Server Operating System Management Pack (version 6.0.6667.0), which includes support for Windows Server 2008 R2, is available on the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Catalog web site at this time as well!  There are currently over 20 MP updates or new releases that are in the pipeline for months ahead to support this OS and when those management packs become available you can get them on the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Catalog web site and from the Operations Manager 2007 R2 Operations console.

Note: No support for Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 will be provided with Microsoft Operations Manager 2005.

Nick.
