Yesterday Sp1 beta was made available for download! A very interesting blog post was also published on the System Center Configuration Manager Team Blog regarding which versions of Configuration Manager will support Windows 8 and Server 2012.
It also contains information that Sp1 will be released early 2013!!!
Here is the support matrix:
System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1:
We will add the following operating systems to our client support matrix with the release of Service Pack 1:
- Windows 8 Pro
- Windows 8 Enterprise
- Windows Server 2012 Standard
- Windows Server 2012 Datacenter
Note: Systems with these operating systems will also be able to host a distribution point.
All site server roles – including site servers, sms providers, and management points – can be deployed to servers with the following operating system editions:
- Windows Server 2012 Standard
- Windows Server 2012 Datacenter
Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2
As with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1, we are adding the following operating systems to our client support matrix in Configuration Manager 2007 with SP2 (includes Configuration Manager 2007 R2 and Configuration Manager 2007 R3):
- Windows 8 Pro
- Windows 8 Enterprise
- Windows Server 2012 Standard
- Windows Server 2012 Datacenter
Note: Though these will be fully supported as clients, there is no plan to add support for deploying these as operating systems by using the Configuration Manager 2007 operating system deployment feature. Also, no site servers or site systems will be supported on any SKU of Windows Server 2012.
