Windows Server 2008 still NOT supported in Controller 8.5!

I just read that Windows server 2008 is NOT supported in de Cognos Controller 8.5 release…

Microsoft SQL server 2008 will be supported :smiley:

here is the offical link for controller 8.5 supported environments

That’s exaclty one of the problems i’m facing now.
I’m not 100% sure but Windows 2003 supports expires this year, isn’t it?

Another thing which is not very clear is the support on 64 bit.
I found only this on the IBM Cognos Proven Practices

Hi Ellen,

IBM Cognos 8 Controller 8.5 is a 32-bit product and will integrate with 3rd party 32-bit libraries only… :’(
