  • 1.  Install Spectrum/SSA on Windows Server DATACENTER cloud services

    Posted 02-17-2022 21:44
    I was installing a test instance of Spectrum 20.1 on a Windows Server 2022 Datacenter edition and the service doesn't start. No log is created.

    Support said that only Windows Server 2019 is supported and not the Datacenter edition.

    Has anyone tried to install Spectrum SSA on Windows Server 2019 Datacentre? has it worked even though it's not supported? I have got all the DB and other software working on v2022 and only Spectrum is not working.

    As users move to a cloud environment as there are performance, functionality and cost benefits to using the Datacenter versions of Windows it would be good if its supported. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/editions-comparison-windows-server-2019

    Listed required specs are
    SSA
    Spectrum

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi George
    Yes we run Spectrum Spatial 20.1 on windows server 2019 Datacenter in Azure.
    See attached Images.
    However note that for what ever reason spectrum Spatial seems to think it is running on server 2016, for whatever reason as can be seen in the image attached below.
    Everything is working ok at present.

    Thanks Russel,

    That's great news and it's working.
