Has anyone attempted to install Cognos 8 and Windows 2003 SP2? Windows 2003 SP2 and Congos 8 is not currently supported by Cognos. Do you know if there are any workarounds to make it compatible?
I've seen it work in test cases.
I've asked about known issues and no one at Cognos would not release any specifics. From what I understand is that there are several problems, not just an isolated issue. Also, they seem to be performance and stability-related, rather than a hard crash.
If you are uninstalling SP2, re-install SP1 even if it was already on the machine. The SP2 uninstall leaves a couple of broken references that reinstalling SP1 will fix.
I am running 8.2 with no issues. I have heard 8.3 has some issues with it.
