Hi,

Potential for a silly question here, but I just want a solid answer...

Is it possible to install the 64-bit version of Universal Forwarder for version 4.3.1 on a Windows Server 2012.

Cheers,

Matt

Why not? 64 bit is 64 bit, however it's not supported. Since it works with 2008R2, it should work with 2012.
