Cannot find information about requirements related to using the Microsoft Server operating systems as a File Server for Solid Edge Fast Search.
The current information in the readme file
is: "The minimal system requirements for running the Fast Search Configuration utility is Windows 7 or above."
Solution
The reason we do not document server operating systems is that Solid Edge does not require a Windows Server operating system for Fast Search to work. Solid Edge customers can set up a desktop Windows machine as their file server and install Fast Search on it if they choose to do so.
Consequently, any Windows Server operating system should work if it is actively supported by Microsoft.
At this time, the oldest supported operating system would be Microsoft Server 2008 R2 and the newest is Microsoft Server 2016. There is also Microsoft Server 2012 R2.
Solid Edge ST10 was tested against all three of the above listed server operating systems without any issues.
