In the last couple of days I have received the same question from people both within Microsoft as well as partners and customers regarding support for Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) on Windows Server 2008 as a connected directory in ILM 2007. The other popular topic has been if we support running the Password Change Notification Service on ADDS as well.
The answer: Yes,
- We have tested and support the Active Directory Management Agent in ILM 2007 FP1 connecting to AD DS on Windows Server 2008 (32 and 64 bit). This includes the Active Directory Application Mode Management Agent connecting to AD Lightweight Directory Service instances as well.
- We have also tested and support installing the PCNS component on ADDS on Windows Server 2008 (32 and 64bit). One caveat - we have not tested and do not support the PCNS component on ADDS running on Windows Server 2008 Server Core.
- See previous post on this blog for more details about the support for Windows Server 2008 as a platform to install ILM 2007 FP1 on.
Hope this helps

ps. The FAQ on the ILM 2007 Product page will get updated as well to clarify this (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/ilm2007/faq.mspx)
Hi
The VHD we have for download from www.microsoft.com/ilm2 has a timeout issue. It is Windows Server that needs to be re armed to get another 60 days of evaluation.
If you log into Windows after the Activate Later button is activated you can run the following command from Start-Run and then restart to get another 60 days.
slmgr.vbs -rearm

ps I am intending to build a new image and to replace this one but it is a couple of weeks late so will be available around 15 Feb.
Rollup Fix for Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 FP1 released
With the release of Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 FP1 version 3.3.1087 we now support all components running on Windows Server 2008 32 bit as well as using Windows Server 2008 32 bit certificate authorities including clustered CA support. You can also set up multiple CLM servers using Network Load Balancing for redundancy on this layer as well. Running the ILM 2007 metadirectory services features on Windows Server 2008 has been supported for some time but we wanted to wait for CLM to support this as well before updating the system requirements pages on our ILM 2007 product pages. If you want all updates below you should download and apply the updates in KB946797
