Itanium Longhorn Beta 3 features and roles
Hello all, It's written somewhere at microsoft.com that (for the Beta 3 release):"""Windows Server "Longhorn" for Itanium-based SystemsThis edition is designed for use with Intel Itanium 64-bit processors to provide web and applications server functionality on that platform. Other server roles and features may not be available"""This means that services like DHCP server, DNS server, SNMP and others are not available at Longhorn Beta 3? If not, where can I get a full list with all the features and roles available for the IA64 Beta 3 release? Besides that, when these features will be available? Does someone know?Thank you all,--Jos Souza

According to ENT News: " Microsoft disclosed in September that when Longhorn server ships, Intel's Itanium Architecture 64-bit processors will only be supported in three roles: database workloads, line-of-business applications and custom applications. Microsoft plans to develop a "superior deployment experience" in Longhorn server for administration and management of the workloads the Itanium version will now support. The Itanium version will include underlying technologies to support those workloads, and it will support client-side functionality for administration, management and server utilities." If you have the hardware, you can download the software to verify what features is available: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8b4734b4-8bb2-4439-a24f-e45c0f525163&DisplayLang=en
