Codename 'Longhorn' Beta 2 - RunUO

Bmzx007 · 03-17-2007, 01:22 AM

Hi Folks,

I've picked myself up a copy of Codename 'Longhorn' Beta 2 (Brand New, Hard to get) and was wondering if anybody was interested in If/How Well RunUO 2.0 works on it.

If anybody posts interest I'll post my results, if not, this thread'll vanish.

I'm sorta interested.... but I have a feeling the results will be that it will run perfectly fine. I tend to think (and this is just based on past experience) that Microsoft usually makes backward compatibility a high priority when releasing a new server OS. There's that, and the fact that Longhorn is still a ways off yet AFAIK.

Well, the only reason I have to beleive that it might not run, or need work, is because supposedly it crashed on Vista (Although I had no issue with this on Vista Enterprise RTM).

As for release date, the supposed official date is either First Half 2008, or Second Half 2007, I have heard both dates quoted from either Offical Magazines, or People who went to the recent Microsoft Conference here.

So it could be close/far away, but It's definately by at most Second Half 2008 I'd say (Being that some of the features are already completed and/or finalised in Vista, that will just be transfered [IIS7, Setup Stuff, DWM, Sharepoint, etc]).

Hey, I know this is a thread necro, but I'm getting ready to try running a private server on my dad's server that is running Window's 2008/Longhorn right now... I'll update with how it goes.

Uh, Vista?

No, that was the codename for vista, now its the codename for Server 08

Windows Server 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

why microsoft recycles codenames for projects so close together, no one knows.

Is Vista's IIS still crippled? (i.e. can't host more than one domain)

Moonchopper · 08-27-2007, 03:45 PM

Welp, I've tried everything suggested in the forums, and the server WILL run, but it won't let anyone get past the shard selection screen. It gives the oh-too-common 'Client cannot attach to server' error. I've tried modifying the core like in a FAQ I read, because I was getting some other errors, but to no avail. So, for now, Longhorn is dead to RunUO. Oh well. Would be nice if I didn't have to run this on my own computer...

Ahhh... well, it seems I've found a work around. I just created a virtual machine, installed Window's XP on it, and everything was copy and paste from my desktop for the server files

A little port forwarding here, a little un-firewalling there, and now people can connect! I'm so happy
