Our company is looking purchase CF9 standard edition and install it on a Windows Server 2008 Std. Edition R2 64bit.

Does anyone forsee any problems as far as compatibility is concerned?

Not in the slightest - I installed five just the other week

All our virtual machines, running 2008 R2 x64. We went for Enterprise Edition, but I believe in CF9 they're both 64-bit anyway. These are the from the build notes I built up:

Install extra roles:

Application Server

Web Server (IIS)

Application Development

IIS6 METABASE Compatibility

Install extra Features:

SMTP Service

Other than that nothing else needs doing. It's worth noting (as a slight but irritating aside) that in 2008 R2 the SMTP service is set to Manual not Automatic, so you'll want to change that unless you want your emails to stop every time you reboot the box.

But the actual install itself was far simpler than CF8 on 2008.

Heh, no worries.

Only thing to bear in mind that Access is no longer supported (not Adobe's fault, there's no 64-bit connector or something), so if you rely on Access you'll be stuffed.

Which you deserve if you're using Access on a webserver anyway

PS for what it's worth, I considered the environment and decided not to print your post.
