Hi,
We are running our app on 2008 64bit with no problems, it runs very well.
If they are Seagate drives there is a problem with some drives, see http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09%2F01%2F21%2F0052236&from=rss

UPDATE:- I recently had a problem with a new HP Server with RAID 5 (supplied by others), it would run OK at light load, but if you copied a large amount of data between drives on the server it would crash, it required a motherboard replacement.

>Hello any help will be greatly appreciated.,

>Dell server: PowerEdge 2900
>Dual Xeon Quad Core CPUs 2.66Ghz
>8Gb RAM
>Storage: 4 SATA 500gb drives configured as single volume via RAID5. Two partitions: system & data
>
>OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Standard x64
>NIC: Intel EXP19402PTBLK 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express Two Gigabit Copper Server Connections – OEM

>Network Switches:
>Dell PowerConnect 2724 Managed Gigabit Switch (10/100/1000 24-port switch currently configured as UNMANAGED)

>Linksys EtherFast 4124 Network switch, EF4124 (10/100 24-port unmanaged switch)

>Clients get an error reading from a shared drive that all workstations are mapped to, and then the workstations screens go blank and the VFP app hang and they have to reboot the server.

>The same application was running on Windows 2000 without any problems.

>They are accessing the application and data via Terminal Services as well.

>Unfortunately, I'm having a tough time understanding the Dell tech's description due to his accent, but he's indicating something about when the VFP application fires up their having problems with the share ...

>I haven't been able to get in via WebEx or LogMeIn to view the problem directly.

>I guess the first question: Is VFP 9 SP1 compatible with Windows Server 2008 running in 64 bit mode?
>
>Second question, has anyone had any problems running VFP 9 SP 1 with 2008. Anything I should look at with the above hardware configuration?
>
>Our app isn't doing anything special, just running in a normal local area network configuration, with the same app being run by all workstations (ie, the app isn't residing on the workstation, it's located on the network file server).
>
>They claim that there isn't any error message thrown on the server or the workstation.
