Hi guys, I am wondering if I can run Windows Server 2012 with MSE 4.0? I used to install MSE with Server 2008 R2 and it was working even if it is not offically supported.

Note: I am open to any suggestions, but please not clamAV since I it does't have a real-time scanner.

Kindly advise me.

Thanks.

I have it working in a VM, so it's definitely possible.

I registered only to say that I believe that what notuptome2004 said is not true. Although Windows 8 has Windows Defender with AV capabilities built in, Server 2012 does not have it!

You *must* insatll another AV or else you won't have any AV software at all.

There is another product from Microsoft which is very similar to MSE and can be installed on Server 2012. It's called System Center Endpoint Protection. You can download it from microsoft as a part of the whole System Center.

I wrote a blog post explaining how to download and install it separately. Didn't want to be like these spammers who register only to post their links so if you want me to post it just ask.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
