Dear Symantec,
I was recently asked what operating systems the Network Boot Services supports, but I could not find out which from the ITMS Platform Support Matrix:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO9965
I know that in SMP 7.1, Deployment Solution requires that SBS (the predecessor to NBS) required Task Service (and therefore, NBS would not be supported on Windows 7), but now, we know that NBS is independant of Task Service and Package Service, but just requries the installation of Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 and IIS 7, according to this article:
http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO93786
From this, I must conclude that Windows 7/8/8.1 are supported to run Package Server and Network Boot Service, but this is not plain in the ITMS Platform Support Matrix, which only mentions Task Service and Package Service.
So, can we please have the OS supportability of NBS shown in the ITMS Platform Support Matrix?
Kindest regards,
QuietLeni
