Is PCNS supported on W2K8 R2 Server Core DCs yet? I found an old post from Brjann stating that it hadn't been tested and as such is not supported. http://blogs.technet.com/identitymanagement/archive/2009/02/27/is-connecting-to-ad-on-windows-server-2008-supported-with-ilm-2007-is-pcns-supported-as-well.aspx

Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 Frequently Asked Questions Q. Is Password Change Notification Service supported with Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) on Windows Server 2008? A. Yes. The PCNS agent can be installed on ADDS on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 32 and 64 bit. Cheers, MarkusMarkus Vilcinskas, Knowledge Engineer, Microsoft Corporation

Hi Markus, The question is around 2008 R2 CORE installs. Everything I read about this seems to say that it can be done by hacking the installer but as the OP pointed out - Brjann said it is untested and unsupported. So, the question is: Is this going to be tested any time soon and when can we expect support for installing PCNS on Server Core machines? -Jeremy
