Upgrading Sophos to version 9.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 DataCentre Edtion

SeanPLP

Can anyone advise,

We are currently running Sophos 7 / Ent Console 3 on a virtual Windows Server 2008 R2 machine without any issues.

I am now having to upgrade to 9.5 due to the retirement of version 7 but after running the Upgrade Advisor and downloading 4.0 and 4.5 (which I have to apparently install one after the other) I am receiving a message from . 4.0 installer that Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacentre is not supported ?

Is this the case ? Is it just 4.0 that is not compatible ? If 4.5 is ok with Datacentre then can I just install this directly without going to 4.0 first ?

My only other option is to install a 2008 STD VM and re-install from scratch onto that but this is not something I really want to do unless I have no choice.

Any help/ideas appreciated

    Hello SeanPLP,

    the installer is probably right and I wonder how you managed to run SEC3.x on a 2008 R2? AFAIK SEC 4.5 was the first release to support the 2008 R2 family. Guess it's not impossible to get it to upgrade but I want to make sure I understood you correctly.
