I tried to install SCEP 2012 on a brand new Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials but it fails, telling me it cannot be installed on my operating system...

(Found an image from someone with a similar problem: http://db.tt/ODUZzmr9)

Is Essentials not a supported OS? Installation works fine on Standard and Datacenter...

Hi,

As Essentials is not a supported operating system for beeing managed by Configuration Manager I would assume that the same goes for SCEP.

So, would it work if I installed a Standard Server and activated the Essetials role instead?

What virus protection can Microsoft offer for a native Server 2012 R2 Essentials?

Any suggestions here?

Hi,

You should be able to use Security Essentials...

Really? Security Essentials on a server?

How about SCEP... Would it work if I installed a Standard Server and activated the Essetials role instead?

Hi,

Security essentials would probably not work either.. :-( You could try, the problem would be when you need to upgrade it.

Anyone who knows for sure?
