Hi

we are starting to get win 8 machines and some 2012 servers in our environment i added a 2012 server and its getting registered as an windows server 2003, i know both OS is not supported by SCE 2010, but is there a time scale for when it is going to be supported? It cannot have been a surprise that win 8 and server 2012 would be released this year.

Regards

Dennis Madsen.

I found an "answer" in my Microsoft Volume Licensing Service account.

I purchased SCE 2010 + DPM with Software Assurance and now I have ONE new item!

System Center 2012 Config Mgr Client Mgmt License with Service Pack 1:

Description says "Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager makes it easier for IT to empower users to be productive with a unified infrastructure that delivers and manages rich user experiences across corporate and consumer devices. This license includes use rights to Virtual Machine Manager and SQL Server 2012 Standard."

Comes with a valid Keyfor System Center 2012 VMM, Config Mgr and Endpoint Protection (I also have Forefront Client Security with SA)

In my mind it confirms Microsoft's mindset to discontinue System Center Essentials 2010!

Now if they could address my DPM 2010 purchased at the same time, I would be "peachy".

trouble is those products are a bit of an overkill for the users of SCE2010
