Update BESRelay 10.0.4 on windows 2008R2

Hi Folks,

I have 100 servers installed with relay 9.5.16 on Windows 2008R2 and now i am trying to update the relay to 10.0.4 and as per the release note, latest version of relay 10.0.4 will not be supported on windows 2008R2. I don’t have machines to replace.

Is it a mandatory requirement or can i update relays from 9.5.16 to 10.0.4 on windows2008R2

We don’t test or support the 10.x versions on Win2008 R2.

I don’t think we know whether it would work or not, but if you do run into problems we may not be able to help.

While I don’t have a relay, I had to modify the client upgrade fixlet to support 2008R2. You could probably do a similar task on the relay fixlet. The modification I made was to target only 2008R2 and older (though we only have around 10 2008R2 remaining here). I would look at tweaking the relevance a bit more if you want to be more specific.
