Hi, my name is Arnaud Buonaccorsi. I have been working with Microsoft Technologies for more than 15 years. I created the company Code403 to bring my experience and help to administrators and IT departments for their deployment of new Microsoft solutions and do better use of them.
Operating System Requirements of SharePoint 2010
January 25th, 2010 by Arnaud Buonaccorsi received 6 Comments »I’ve read a lot of things on the newsgroups and the web on the versions and editions of Windows that SharePoint 2010 can support. Seems some point must be clarify and MS Sharepoint Team has done a post regarding this.
So in a first time we must remember SharePoint 2010 will support only 64-bit (x64) versions of Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2. SharePoint will not install at all on 32 bit Windows, or any earlier version (no 2000 or 2003)
Moreover SharePoint 2010 is not supported on ‘Server Core’ installations of Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2. The reason give by MS SharePoint team is : “Server Core installations of Windows server do not contain some of the components required for SharePoint to be configured or run“.
However it is possible to install SharePoint on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7 (for developer). But running production environments on these OSes are not supported and it will not be possible to upgrade deployments running on client versions of Windows to future versions of SharePoint (source MS Sharepoint Team).
For information, instructions on installing SharePoint 2010 on client versions of Windows are a bit more involved and we recommend reading the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869(office.14).aspx.
