Hello, I have a Dell T310 server that came with Windows 2008 R2 - 64 bit OS loaded. The primary application that is to be run on this machine is not currently supported under 2008 R2 64 Bit.

I currently do not have the media set from Microsoft, I have ordered it but it has not arrived yet. I was trying to use Dell's Open Manage to relaod the OS.

Every time that I start the SNMP servic…
