ACS 5.2.0.26.3 and Windows 2008 R2 SP1

[bvj197222]

Hello,

are there anyone out there who have experience with running ACS 5.2.0.26.3 with AD-integration towards a Win2008 R2 SP1 server? We recently had big problems with ACS 5.1 and Win2008 R2, and got thousands of "radius latency..." error messages. It turned out that ACS 5.1 had a bug and did not communicate very well with Win2008 R2-servers. This was fixed in 5.2. Now that Microsoft has released SP1 for Win2008 R2 we wonder if we should upgrade the controllers or wait until Cisco officially says that it is supported.

In 5.1, Windows 2008 R2 was not listed as supported AD.

ACS supports these AD domains:

•Windows Server 2000

•Windows Server 2003

•Windows Server 2008

But it is support in 5.2. I think you have to upgrade to 5.2.  SP1 should be OK.

ACS supports these AD domains:

•Windows Server 2000

•Windows Server 2003

•Windows Server 2008

•Windows Server 2008 R2

Is it confirmed that Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is supported?

In the website, there is nothing official until now :

A customer of mine is trying to upgrade their Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 SP1 and require our confirmaiton that it is supported.
