SIM 6.0

Tuscani_1 — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 16:38:30 GMT

I am getting ready to build anew SIM\RSP server. I plan to start over clean as I have not customized SIM enough to justify a migration from 5.3. I had planned to make CMS 2008 R2 x64.. is it true RSP will not support 2008 R2?

A question then; I was waiting for SIM 6 to arrive so that I could install SIM only on a new Windows server 2008 R2 x64 machine. Can I still do this or not?

SIM runs fine on 2k8 R2. keep in mind sim 5.3 on 64 bit system is not a 64 bit application but SIM 6.0 on 64 machine is a 64 bit application.
if you are running 5.3 on 32 bit machine take your backup of data as precaution.
