So i guess R2 is not supported under Unity 7 either. I was looking at that as a possible solution to my problem as well but i guess it won't help matters.<br>

I am not running 2008, but I have customers that want to upgrade AD to 2008... Will regular Unity 7 work? Or do they need to load an ES? I remember an ES for 2k8 that was buggy... is that what is needed now?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
