Can we integrate Cisco ACS Version 5.1.0.44.3  with active directory Microsoft windows server 2012  R2 ?

[Jatin Katyal · Accepted solution]

Unfortunately, it doesn't support 2012 R2

ACS 5.1 supports all editions of:

Windows Active Directory (AD) 2000

Windows AD 2003

Windows AD 2003 R2

Windows AD 2008

Windows AD 2012 R2 is supported after ACS 5.5 patch 1 and onwards.

Dear Jatin,

Thanks for your reply, but i have a Q.

Is this upgrade need a new license? or can complete and work with the current 5.1 license?

Thanks

You don't need any additional license to upgrade the current version to ACS 5.5p1
