Splunk Enterprise Security and Windows Server

[jgorman_THG]

Hello,

I have a client who is insisting on building an on-prem Splunk environment with Windows Servers.

Can someone tell me if Windows Server is a show-stopper for running ES? What functions won't work, or will have problems?

Thanks,

JG

per this doc:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ES/4.7.1/Install/DeploymentPlanning
windows Search Head Clustering is not supported.
however, i dont think its a show stopper.
seen it works nicely in few deployments.
hope it helps
