SE to support Server set-ups?

[t120rmike]

I've searched everything I can find. Last year it was mentioned that the 6.5 update will support a server set up, but i haven't been able to find anything else about it. Is it supported yet.

One reason we have hesitated to switch to the peer to peer set up is basic security. All the writers have their own desks and their own pencils and their own highliters, but once we go peer to peer, then anyone can log into anyone's computer and open any of their files. I'm not a fan of that idea. (cue porn jokes)

Thanks,

With Manager SE 6.5, we are supporting Server 2012 as long as it is NOT a domain controller.

But a Server 2012 on a domain as long as it's not a domain controller?

Active Directory/Domain environments are not supported. https://kb.mitchell1.com/articles/id-537

The simplest explanation we can offer as to why is that we learned over many years of support calls — the overwhelming majority of problems with application behaviour in AD was due to permission/security restrictions. Some of our applications require administrator-level privileges. Much of that is due to the way our application licensing works.

It should also be noted that many of our users choose to use domains anyway. Some of them are regulars on this forum , and it might be useful for trading troubleshooting advice should you need it. However, do not expect to be able to call for support. If you choose the environment, you're choosing the restrictions that come with it as well.
