is it possible to install splunk 8.0.1 on windows server 2012 R2. Does Splunk 8.0 support windows server 2012 R2

Hi @khohlweg,
Splunk 8.x.x is supported only on Windows Server 2016, Server 2019 (all installation options) and Windows 10, as you can read at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/Installation/Systemrequirements .

Probably it runs but it isn't supported by Splunk.

Ciao.
Giuseppe

So far, anyone tried?

I just tried it and the installer just stops and reverses the install, Spunk 8.x.x does not work on windows 2012 at all

I have to disagree. It worked for us but:

This is not supported by Splunk so I would not recommend to try it with IDX or SHs or if you have other supported options

Cheers!
