We have our Orion products running on Server 2003 R2 currently on an old machine (6 years old or so). We are looking by July to go to the latest versions of things, such as SAM 6.2, NPM 11.5, etc…. My question is, if we put it on a 2008 or 2012 server, does it matter? Do you get more functionality from things like power shell, or ease of use by going Server 2012 over 2008? (we are currently running SAM 6.0, NPM 10.6, IVIM 1.8.1).
I’ve searched through thwack and I haven’t noticed anything that addresses this. I have to try to complete our plan so we can set this up by the time we get the hardware for this (around July 15th). Is it worth convincing management of 2012?
