PCo 2.1.5.1 Recommended OS

[former_member1170711]

I have been having a lot of problems trying to use PCo on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit). I am starting to wonder if we are making a mistake trying to use this operating system. I am not trying to do anything fancy, just some data collection using OPC DA that worked fine in our 11.5 UDS environment on Windows Sever 2003.

Is Windows Server 2008 R2 a bad choice? What are most people using?

Thanks,

Mike

Have you looked at page 7: http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000735008&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_O...

HI Jeremy,

Yes I had looked at that. That tells me what PCo will run on but not necessarily what the best practice is. W 2008 seemed like the best choice but when I started running into other software in the industry that does not work with 2008 (like the Matrikon OPC sniffer as one example) I started to wonder if it was a wise choice in general.

To your knowlege, are most people installing PCo on 2008 at this point?

Thanks,

We installed PCo 2.1.6 on Windows 2008 R2 to connect to a PI system. It worked fine.
