Does recently released CSA 4.0.3 support Windows Server 2003?

[0grobinson]

Does recently released CSA 4.0.3 support Windows Server 2003? Either officially or unofficially? Read-me for CSA 4.0.3 does not mention Win2003 as supported platform

Would anyone care to share any experiences with CSA (any version) on Win2003 Server? Are there any limitations or oddities running CSA on Win2003?

Will shortly be installing CSA on 20-odd Win2003 servers so would be interested in hearing experiences of anyone who has already done this.

The Management Console is going to be installed on Windows 2000 server.

Yes, 4.0.3 officially supports Windows 2003.

The Management Console still must run on Win2000 Server as you mention.

Please let us know what other questions you may have. Hopefully others will share their experiences regarding their installs on 2003 server.

thanks

Yes, 4.03 officially supports Windows 2003. I would suggest you download the build 717 from here (http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/csa) as the initial build 716 had a WinXP bug in it that you might hit.

Note that the release notes on this same page do mention 2003 support specifically, so you might have missed it:
