System Management Tools & Documentation V6.2 DVD missing SBS 2008

Hi!

I would like to redo the Dell pre-installation of SBS 2008 on my PowerEdge T710, but when I boot with the SMTD V6.2, I don't have SBS 2008 in the choices of OS to choose.

Is there a way to download a version of SMTD with SBS 2008 for our T710?

Thanks!

    Should be there, though sometimes the 2008 looks like 2003. Also, they may not have 2008 SBS, but rather 2008 x64.

    actually, on OM 6.2, SBS 2008 is not supported on the T710

    However, you can use the SMTD from OM 6.3 and it is supported

    Hello,

    I did download the two files needed for the OM 6.3 from Dell FTP site, I created the image and SBS 2008 is not present on the list of OS. Should I use SBS 2003 or Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2?

    Thank you!

    wow, thats odd, its not there on my system either. Thats a bug Dell!!
    I'm going to go out on a limb here and would bet money that SBS 2008 isnt supported on that platform since it wasnt supported on OM 6.2. I have a buddy at Dell, I'll check with him.

    Hey Reybeast1,

    I finaly takc with someone from Dell, we tried to boot the server with the SMTD 6.3 and choose Windows Server 2008 X64 SP2 and it worked.

    I'm now constructing my server for SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 migration.

    Thanks to everyone who reply to me with suggestions!
