Is Windows Server 2008 supported on DL585 G2?

Ken Clipperton — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:22:39 GMT

I have a ProLiant DL585 G2 with 2.6GHz AMD processors in it(HP part number 413929-001). I get conflicting information about on HP and Microsoft web sites.

I want to use this server as the foundation for VDI and/or application virtualization. Is this server supported for Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V?

Thank you.

Exactly what I needed. For whatever reason, the chart I found on HP's site last night was different than the one you linked to.

I can move ahead with confidence. Thank you.
