    We're running Exchange 2010 SP1 (Rollup 2).

    I installed Windows 8 Pro and installed Exchange 2010 SP1 for the Management Console. I used Windows Update to upgrade the EMC to Rollup 2 (14.1.270.1) and connected to the On-Premises Instance. I get the Org Health screen but I can't get to the Org, Server, and Recipient Nodes. This worked with no problems back in Win7.

    Is this a roles issue? I haven't messed with roles over the weekend, so I doubt it.

    Hi

    As far as I am aware Windows 8 does not support the 2010 EMC, only the powershell module works.

    Cheers, Steve

    Hi Tzvi,

    The following Technet document was updated recently(2012-10-03 ):

    Exchange Server Supportability Matrix

    As I know, the Windows 8 will be supported in Exchange 2010 SP3.

    Hi,

    Maybe issue with the account which you used to logged in. Did you try logging by domain admin?

    Yes, I'm using my domain account, which is a Domain Admin.

    Then I'm also expecting a response from others as you are, since I've not installed Win 8 Pro :(

    Well, it opens up and is able to make the connection to the server. If EMS works, you'd think EMC (which is after all just a GUI shell for EMS) would work.

    Is there a KB or something somewhere to confirm this incompatibility?

    Not one that confirms the incompatibility by this one specifically states what OSs are compatible: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719.aspx

    This thread indicates a possible workaround but I haven't tried it: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/W8ITProPreRel/thread/46f177cd-a954-4e1f-bab5-7944e2bf24a8

    That hasn't been modified since July. That doesn't mean it's not supported.

    If it wasn't supported, I doubt Exchange installation would have let me finish.

    Also, Windows Update sees the install as valid and is able and willing to update it.

    I did. The strange part is that I'm able to install the Console. It could be that Sp2 isn't supported but Sp1 is.

    I doubt that changing the OS version key after finishing the install is going to affect much of the actual functionality of the already installed console.
